English term or phrase: afternoon tea / evening tea
Hi!
I'm translating a product description about teas that contains "afternoon tea" and "evening tea".
For "evening tea" I found: A very flavorful tea that is light liquoring and bright (Ceylon and Darjeeling). This tea is perfect for after dinner and promotes conversation.
And for "afternoon tea" I found: "té de tarde"
The text I'm translating deals with different types of tea that are classified either as "afternoon tea" or "evening tea".
Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!!
