What is Afternoon Tea?
Afternoon Tea is a delightful custom occurring between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. It is an in-between meal of delicate finger sandwiches, irresistible scones, savory bites, sweet treats, and perfectly brewed tea.

“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.”
