Fortnum & Mason Afternoon Blend Tea

Fortnum & Mason Afternoon Blend is a signature tea from one of the world's most prestigious luxury retailers. Founded in 1707 by William Fortnum and Hugh Mason, the brand is inseparable from London’s heritage, particularly its flagship store in Piccadilly. This specific blend, created in the mid-20th century, is a light and refreshing combination of higher and lower-grown teas from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), designed specifically for the traditional afternoon tea occasion.

While the raw ingredients are sourced globally—primarily from tea estates in Sri Lanka—the product is blended and packaged in the United Kingdom. Ownership of this historic British institution lies with Wittington Investments, a private family-held investment company controlled by the Weston family. The brand remains a quintessential symbol of British luxury and holds multiple royal warrants, signifying its long-standing service to the British Royal Household.
