Afternoon Tea Week is a celebration of one of the nation’s
favourite traditions. The British love
the combination of savoury and sweet treats, accompanied by some of the 165
million cups of tea we drink each day in the UK.
Relax and refresh yourself with tea, coffee, sandwiches,
scones and perhaps even a glass of chilled Prosecco in the contemporary styled
conservatory at the 4* Lea Marston Hotel, Sutton Coldfield.
The tradition of the afternoon tea dates back to the early nineteenth century
when Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford is said to have complained of “having
that sinking feeling” during the late afternoon. To revive herself, the Duchess
had her servants bring her a pot of tea and a light snack, taken privately in
her boudoir during the afternoon. Then soon she began inviting her friends to
join her for her additional meal in her room at Woburn Abbey. Before long all fashionable
society was sipping tea and nibbling sandwiches in the middle of the afternoon.
And so, became the Afternoon Tea!
