An essential at any Bridgerton gathering, the British tradition of afternoon tea will be celebrated this year from the 12th - 18th August with JING's single garden, responsibly sourced teas served at some of the country's most iconic hotels like The Dorchester, The Savoy and The Berkeley during Afternoon Tea Week.

If you can't make it to any of these top landmarks, it's easy to enjoy afternoon tea at home with JING's Ali Shan Oolong tea that pairs perfectly with fluffy scones, clotted cream and jam. Expertly crafted by renowned tea maker Shenteng Chen, this exquisite oolong tea from Chenjia Garden in Ali Shan, Taiwan, has a uniquely creamy texture, notes of apricot and an aroma of strawberry and pear. 

“We're delighted to hero our Ali Shan during Afternoon Tea Week. The creamy, floral, and fruity qualities of this juicy and quenching tea, mean it perfectly cuts through the indulgence of a buttery scone laden with cream and jam." says Felicity Fowler, head of experience at JING Tea. "Oolong tea is semi-oxidized, sitting in between the green and black tea types. Its unique processing method gives it a characteristic complexity, offering a range of tastes from floral and fruity to roasted and nutty, appealing to both tea enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike. From one of the highest tea gardens in Taiwan, our Ali Shan will appeal to anyone who wants some of the freshness of a green tea, but with a bigger, more fruity & structured character.”

Afternoon Tea continues to increase in popularity. According to a recent Pinterest report, searches for 'Bridgerton Tea Party' were up 430% this year, with creative tea recipes trending, as people seek inspiration for what to serve.
