One of the most aromatic, delicate and sweet blends. There hasn’t yet been anyone among my friends who has tasted this tea at my place and have not asked for it during the next visit.
Afternoon Tea, not High Tea
Even the most upscale establishments incorrectly refer to the elegant Afternoon Tea as "high tea". It's understandable since the word 'high' has connotations of 'superior'. Consider high society or higher-than-thou or even high-and-mighty. But not in this case. The wonderfully laid out Tea Service consisting of tea sandwiches, scones and petit fours was originally served at a low table in England somewhere between 4 and 5 pm to provide a break between lunch and the very late supper served in Victorian times. As a contrast, high tea is a workingman's meal, usually in the early evening after a long day's work and always accompanied by a meat dish, usually a patty or Cornish pasties. And it's served on a high table!
