Afternoon Tea

Cultural Context

Afternoon Tea originated in Britain in the early 19th century, popularized by Anna, the Duchess of Bedford. It was a social event to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner, featuring a selection of tea, sandwiches, scones, and pastries. This elegant tradition has evolved into a cherished ritual, often enjoyed in hotels and tea rooms worldwide, celebrating the art of relaxation and conversation.
