Afternoon Tea is a popular and well-known tragedy. It is known not only in England but also worldwide. This tradition fully reflects England’s tea tradition with its porcelain sets, fragrant tea, tasty snacks, and delicious desserts.
According to legend, the tradition of afternoon tea was introduced by the Duchess of Bedford in the mid-19th century. The thing is, in England, lunch wasn’t until 8:00 or 9:00 in the evening. So, to alleviate her hunger after breakfast, the Duchess asked the servants around 4:00 p.m., to bring her some tea. And then there were snacks – sandwiches and sweets.
Over time, she started inviting guests to join the tea ceremony. And that tradition came to her liking. The original Afternoon Tea menu included butter sandwiches, cupcakes, sweets, tea with milk, and champagne. Quite quickly, the tradition of afternoon tea became popular and popular throughout England. Afternoon tea was served in famous hotels. And the tradition itself has spread far beyond the realm.
