Tea Sandwiches and British Afternoon Tea Etiquette

Описание

Afternoon tea was introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. The Duchess would become hungry around four o'clock in the afternoon. The evening meal in her household was served fashionably late at eight o'clock, thus leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner.

This tea is usually enjoyed with different types of tea sandwiches, scones with jam and butter and as conclusion - small cakes.

Strong black tea is served with some sugar and milk.
