WHY WE LOVE AFTERNOON TEA

WHY WE LOVE AFTERNOON TEA

  1. It’s a celebration of togetherness

    Afternoon tea is an English custom that has continued for centuries. People from all over the world take part in it as it is a fun activity involving tea, food, and the company of our loved ones. Such combinations make for having a great time overall.

  2. It’s a celebration of tea

    Did you know that tea is the second most consumed beverage after water? Now that’s some dedication and passion because while we do need water for the sake of survival, there’s no scientific proof that says we need tea to survive. People have it because it tastes great, has tons of health benefits, and provides one with the right amount of energy.

  3. It’s a celebration of social customs

    While afternoon tea is only as old as the 1840s, the idea of having tea as a snack during midday goes further back. Many people in South Asia, for example, have frothy tea as they sit down for a break from the day’s work. This brief tea break session is accompanied by light snacks such as samosas, rotis, and cake rusks.
