Before we get into it, let's start with some basic knowledge!

Rituals of Afternoon Tea

As you likely know, the ritual of Afternoon Tea began when Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford and a close friend of Queen Victoria, complained of “having that sinking feeling” during the late afternoon. She needed something small, just enough to satisfy that in-between time before dinner.

The concept of afternoon tea grew once she started inviting friends over and it became a social gathering for women in the wealthy social class.

Today, afternoon tea has evolved into a set meal consisting three courses of savories, scones, and sweets to be enjoyed by all as an occasional luxury.

A proper order to eat Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea is served in three courses usually on a tiered stand.

You should eat the savories first, the scones second, and the sweets last.

What do I wear to Afternoon Tea?

Afternoon tea is a relaxing experience but it’s somewhat formal so you don’t want to look like a mess. It’s best not to wear sneakers or jeans. It's time to dress up in anything comfortable; smart business casual.
