About Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea is an English tradition dating back to the 1800s of taking tea with three courses of finger food, sweets, scones, and savories or tea sandwiches. It’s a delightful and relaxing time to sit back and really savor tea, treats, and good company. Afternoon tea is usually laid out on fine china, with a large pot of tea and three tiers of treats acting as the centerpiece.
Later, with the development of the times, afternoon tea gradually diversified. A wide variety of meals, snacks and drinks can also be present on the afternoon tea table.
Ceylon Tea
Ceylon (say-lawn) tea is a tea produced on the island nation of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. Sri Lanka is small, but it has an enormous range in elevation, climate, soil type, plant varietals, and weather, so the flavors and character of the teas produced there vary greatly. Despite the regional nuances, a classic Ceylon flavor is generally thought to be bold, full, and brisk. It has medium-to-full tannins and some notes of citrus, chocolate, or spice.
Sandwich
A sandwich usually consists of two or more slices of bread sandwiched between various ingredients. Common fillings include ham, chicken, beef, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, etc., which can be variously paired according to personal tastes and preferences.
