History of Afternoon Tea
The elegant ritual of Afternoon Tea is credited to Anna, the Seventh Duchess of
Bedford. As was customary during the later 1700's and early 1800's, people
would eat a huge breakfast, tiny lunch, and then a substantial dinner around
8:00 at night. The Duchess, describing a "sinking feeling" during the
afternoon, began to request tea and cakes to tide her over. Soon, she invited
her friends to share the ritual with her, and it quickly became a fashionable,
treasured custom.
Afternoon Tea Today
The refined custom of afternoon tea is a wonderful way to take a respite from
the hectic pace of today's busy world. Allow us to pamper you and your guests
in our warm and inviting atmosphere. Afternoon tea is a wonderful way to spend
an afternoon with a cherished friend, or beloved child or parent. Special
events will seem even more special when celebrated with this long standing
ritual of sharing friendship, love, and delicious tea and pastries.
