THE HISTORY OF AFTERNOON TEA

 

 

The introduction of Afternoon Tea, a quintessentially English tradition, is usually credited to

Anna, 7th Duchess of Bedford, in the early 19th Century.  The Duchess grew hungry between an

 early luncheon and a late dinner and conceived the idea of a separate meal. This was served

in her boudoir in the mid afternoon to ward off her own and guests hunger pangs.

This delightful tradition lives on today at the  Tudor House.

 

So sit back relax and enjoy our Superb Afternoon Tea
