Afternoon Tea & Biscuits

This great British custom was started by the Duchess of Bedford in 1830 when she ordered a light meal between lunch and dinner. By the 1840's wafer thin slices of bread holding finely chopped cucumber, platters of light sponge cakes and freshly brewed pots of tea were being served all across London.

The Afternoon Tea has seen somewhat of a revival in recent years and here in Germany there is a certain trend towards this very British custom.

The products in this section are selected to enable you to create your own Afternoon Tea experience, the scones & clotted cream are a must and are perfect served with our specially selected East Anglian Strawberry Conserve.
