Dilmah puts the special into this autumn afternoon occasion
Cooler autumn days bring us inside to catch up over a pot of well-made tea and a bite to eat. High tea, if you’re feeling fancy, or afternoon tea if you’re in a more casual mood, gives people a reason to stop, sit back and relax before getting on with the rest of the day. You’ll be well-fuelled to meet the demands, and dinner may not even be required.
The scented flavour of Dilmah Earl Grey is great with the spices, dried fruit and almonds in this loaf. The creaminess of the brie is perfect with the loaf and cup of Dilmah.
