The custom of afternoon tea was thought to be introduced in England
by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford. It soon became fashionable
to take tea in the middle of the afternoon with bread and butter,
small cakes and tea being served. There are 3
types of afternoon teas: Cream Tea - you serve
tea, scones, jam and cream
Light Tea - you serve tea, scones and sweets
Full Tea - you serve tea, savories, scones, sweets and dessert
Most tea rooms today serve tea from three to five o'clock. The menu
has also changed from tea, bread, butter and cakes, to include three
particular courses served specifically in this order:
Savories - Tiny sandwiches or appetizers
Scones - Served with jam and clotted cream
Pastries - Cakes, cookies and sweets |
