The tradition of Afternoon Tea is a very special part of English culture.Afternoon Tea is served mid-afternoon,intended as refreshment between lunch and a late dinner. The idea came from Anna,the Seventh Duchess of Bedford,in 1840.At the time,kerosene (蠟油) lamps were introduced in wealthier homes,and eating a late dinner (around 8 p.m.) became fashionable.This increasingly late dinner was one of only two main meals each day,the other was a mid-morning,breakfast-like meal.
With a long period of time between breakfast and dinner,Anna would become hungry around four o'clock in the afternoon.It is around this time that Anna is said to have complained of"having that sinking feeling"" This was likely fatigue from hunger during the long wait between meals.Thus,she requested a tray of tea,bread and butter and cake be brought to her room during the late afternoon.This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her.
Later,friends were invited to join her in her rooms at Woburn Abbey.And this practice proved so popular that the Duchess continued it when she returned to London,sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for"tea and a walking the fields".
Others quickly picked up on the idea.The practice became respectable enough to move it into the drawing-room.Before long this pause for tea became a fashionable social event.
Traditional afternoon tea consists of a selection of dainty sandwiches,scones served with clotted cream.Nowadays however,afternoon tea is likely to be just a biscuit or small cake and a mug of tea.
