A little bit of history
Anna, 7th Duchess of Bedford, is reputed to have introduced the
tradition of taking Afternoon Tea in the early 1840s to appease her
appetite in the long hours between an early lunch and a late
supper. From her boudoir she sent to the kitchen for a pot of
water, bread and butter and cakes; she would brew her own tea. Anna
is said to have shared the idea with friends and by the end of the
decade afternoon tea had become a widespread social event.
