The origin of Afternoon Tea

The tradition of afternoon tea dates back to the early 19th century in Britain, credited to Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, who found herself feeling peckish during the long gap between lunch and the late evening meal. To wade off hunger, she requested a light snack of tea, bread, butter, and cakes to be served in her private quarters. This informal afternoon meal quickly became a fashionable social event when she began inviting friends to join her. By the mid-1840s, afternoon tea had grown in popularity across the upper classes, with elegant tea rooms and gardens becoming the preferred venues for gatherings.

As the tradition evolved, afternoon tea became a symbol of refinement and hospitality, with the menu expanding to include delicate finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and preserves, and a variety of pastries and cakes. Today, afternoon tea has once again taken off, becoming a staple for cafes, restaurants and gardens. Modern interpretations often incorporate contemporary twists, such as themed teas, champagne pairings, and creative takes on traditional treats. While it remains a luxurious experience steeped in history, afternoon tea has adapted to fit today's global tastes, offering a balance of tradition and innovation that continues to develop.
