- What is afternoon tea?
It originally referred to the tea culture that originated in England, and it was an elegant tea party where people enjoyed tea, sweets and light meals from 4 PM to 5.
It is considered to be a lifestyle that started in the middle of the 19 century for the purpose of socializing among aristocratic women.
Traditional British afternoon tea is a set of tea, with a stand that holds three plates, and sandwiches and cakes from the bottom.
It is customary to take them in order from the bottom.
There are more and more shops in Japan where you can enjoy afternoon tea.
In particular, high-class hotels that serve distinguished guests from Japan and overseas offer afternoon tea that is both original and original.
I’ll introduce afternoon tea from Conrad Tokyo, a popular luxury hotel.
