Afternoon tea is a British tradition that typically involves a light meal served with tea. It originated in the early 19th century when Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, began having tea and snacks in the afternoon to tide her over between lunch and dinner, which in high society was served quite late. Today, afternoon tea usually consists of a selection of finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, cakes, pastries, and, of course, a choice of teas. Make sure to check out our variety of teas and find something new to enjoy!
