AFTERNOON TEA

Afternoon tea is a British company tradition that originated in the 1840s. Most famous for the “invention” was the Duchess of Bedford, who felt the hunger creeping in between lunch and dinner.

To satisfy her hunger, she asked the court to make her a pot of tea, with bread, butter and something sweet. She thought the meal was so pleasant that she would eventually invite guests to keep her company, and this is what is today called Afternoon Tea.

In recent times, Afternoon Tea has developed into a proper feast, with finger sandwiches, sweets, freshly brewed tea and preferably a glass with bubbles.
