Aldi launches new afternoon tea collection – but you’ll need to be quick!
The new insta-worthy special buys collection from the budget supermarket chain offers everything you’ll need for a stylish afternoon tea at half the price.
With the Great British Bake Off back on our screens and the colder weather closing in, it’s the perfect time to enjoy a quintessential British favourite.
The Aldi afternoon tea collection starts at just £2.49, meaning you’ll be able to host a gorgeous gathering on a budget.
When does the Aldi afternoon tea collection launch?
It’s heading to stores on Thursday 18 September, but just like all Aldi special buys, once it’s gone it’s gone, so if there is something you have your eye on it’s best to get there sooner rather than later.
What’s in the Aldi afternoon tea collection?
It includes everything you need for hosting an afternoon tea, from the baking to the serving.
If you like your afternoon tea with a flourish of Prosecco, it also has Prosecco glasses, stemless wine glasses and confetti glasses, as well as the traditional tea sets, tea pot and mugs.
There is glassware perfect for serving up puddings and trifles, as well as stunning dessert plates with a unique lilypad design.
Aldi’s popular bargain stand mixer is back as part of the collection, in two gorgeous colourways, to help you bake cakes to perfection. You’ll also be able to experiment with different bakes with the Aldi air fryer also being part of the afternoon tea collection.
Serve it up in style with the stunning wooden cake stand or the 2-tier buffet stand with removable trays – so you can set it up to suit your event.

The air fryer
We’ve spoken about the Aldi air fryer before, but it’s worth mentioning again, purely for it’s amazing budget price tag and great use.

This means the stunning glassware will certainly come in handy for you throughout cosy season (and beyond).
We also think a delicious trifle could make a great addition to your afternoon tea menu, too.
