What Is in an Afternoon Tea Hamper
An afternoon tea hamper is a gift box built around tea and the things you have with it. Ours pair a proper breakfast or herbal tea with shortbread, biscuits, a slice of cake and a fruit preserve. It is a quiet afternoon, packed into a box.
An afternoon tea hamper typically holds:
- Loose or bagged tea, breakfast through to herbal
- Shortbread and a biscuit or two
- A slice of cake or a flapjack
- A fruit preserve to spread
- Enough for a proper sit-down, boxed by hand
It is one of the few hampers with no alcohol in it at all. That is half the reason it sells. Tea over wine? For that person it beats any bottle.
The Tea and the Biscuits
The tea is the anchor. A Cartwright & Butler English Afternoon Tea for the breakfast-cup drinkers. Hampstead chamomile, Earl Grey or green and mint for anyone off builder's brew. With it come the biscuits: Shortbread House stem ginger shortbread, Millers cherry biscuits, a Cartwright & Butler wafer. A tea and biscuit hamper is the plainest, and often the most wanted.
Cake, Shortbread and Something Sweet
Tea needs cake, so there is cake. An Original Cake Co fruit slice, a Yorkshire Flapjack, Furniss Cornish shortbread, depending on the box. A fruit preserve ties it to the scone-and-jam idea without pretending to be a cream tea. It is the sweet half of the afternoon, kept the right side of too much.
Afternoon Tea as a Gift
An afternoon tea hamper is the gift for a mum, a grandmother, or anyone who treats a proper brew as a small event. It suits a birthday, a get-well or a thank-you, or a Mother's Day hamper when flowers feel too easy. It is a favourite end-of-term thank-you too, among the gifts for nursery staff and teachers. The hampers for her lean this way, the breakfast hampers carry the same morning-brew idea, and the alcohol-free hampers share the no-bottle appeal. At Christmas it is the calm pick among the Christmas hampers.
Sending a batch to an office or a team, the corporate hampers quote the whole order and post to every address on the list.

Free UK delivery is on every afternoon tea hamper, no minimum order. Order by 1pm for next day. The small letterbox tea boxes go through the door on their own. The bigger hampers take a chosen date at checkout. For exact timings, see the delivery and returns page.
