English Tea Traditions


One of the most well known English tea traditions is afternoon tea. The origin of afternoon tea is thought to have started with the 7th Duchess of Bedford, who started to serve tea in the afternoon to bridge the time between lunch and dinner.

It is thought by many that high tea then became ubiquitous in English society when the working class began to drink high tea in the later afternoon as the main meal of the day.
