What is Afternoon Tea?
dutchess anna of bedford Afternoon Tea is a tea-related ritual, introduced in Britain in the early 1840s by Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford. Afternoon Tea was initially developed as a private social event for ladies who climbed the echelons of society. It was only when Queen Victoria engaged in the Afternoon Tea ritual that it became a formal occasion on a larger scale, known as 'tea receptions'.  Before long all of fashionable society was sipping tea and nibbling sandwiches in the middle of the afternoon.
