The British tradition of High Tea began in the mid 1700s as an
afternoon meal usually served between 3 and 4 o'clock. Initially, it was
a meal for the working man, taken standing up or sitting on tall stools,
thus 'high'. Tea with cakes, scones, even cheese on toast would have
been served. It was around this time that one John Montagu, the
Fourth Earl of Sandwich, had the idea of placing meat and other
fillings between two slices of bread. Thus, the High Tea sandwich was
created. "Never" says Andreanis' French guide to etiquette (1988)
"leave your coffee spoon in your cup when you lift it to your lips".
Spend an afternoon indulging in the grand old tradition of High Tea. Enjoy a tiered array of delicious
petit fours, freshly baked scones and delicate finger sandwiches. It's the ideal way to celebrate a
baby shower, birthday, anniversary or a bridal shower. (Minimum 10 Max 45)
