The refined custom of afternoon tea is a wonderful way to take a respite from the hectic pace of today’s busy world. Afternoon Tea is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon with a cherished friend, or beloved child or parent. Special events will seem even more special when celebrated with this long standing ritual of sharing friendship, love, and delicious tea and pastries.

Reserve a spot for our Afternoon Tea with a 24 hour advance reservation and allow us to pamper you with a traditional afternoon tea, complete with a lovely table dressed with white linens and tea time accoutrements. A beautiful three-tiered tower of sweet and savory pastries, scones, artichoke purses, and mini sandwiches is freshly prepared on the day of your tea and is presented with, of course, a pot of our premium tea. Afternoon Tea is traditionally served from 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm.

The History of Afternoon Tea

The elegant ritual of Afternoon Tea is credited to Anna, the Seventh Duchess of Bedford.
As was customary during the later 1700′s and early 1800′s, people would eat a huge breakfast, tiny lunch, and then a substantial dinner around 8:00 at night. The Duchess, describing a “sinking feeling” during the afternoon, began to request tea and cakes to tide her over. Soon, she invited her friends to share the ritual with her, and it quickly became a fashionable, treasured custom.
