A brief history of Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea is one of seven meals the British invented to keep up with their appetites, but it’s almost impossible to fit them all in to one day, so Afternoon Tea is now saved for a treat! Originally, Afternoon Tea was predominantly eaten by the upper classes and drinking tea was an opportunity to socialise. Now everyone can indulge in some delicious Afternoon Tea. Whatever the occasion, trust us ladies, you deserve a treat. The common argument associated with Afternoon Tea is how to pronounce the word scone. Is it pronounced so it rhymes with stone or gone? What do you reckon? Then there’s the heated debate over whether clotted cream or jam goes on the scones first? Whichever way you like to pronounce it or like to eat them, there’s no debate over the fact that the scones you’ll tuck into during Afternoon Tea in Cambridge are delicious and go perfectly with tea…and sandwiches…and cake!

Fancy a Cuban twist?
