| | Afternoon Tea |
 | | Tea was not the only beverage served, but was one of the most commonly drunk (Ukers 1935: 389). | | | It was perhaps the Tea Dance, and not the Duchess of Bedford's afternoon snacks, that were the direct precursor to the tradition of afternoon tea, although the Duchess may have been one of the first to hold afternoon teas. | | | She ordered a small meal of bread, butter, and other niceties, such as cakes, tarts, and biscuits, to be brought secretly to her boudoir. |

| | The goodies can include crumpets slathered with butter, tea breads with fresh and dried fruits, dainty well-trimmed tea sandwiches, tall stand cakes, flaky scones, tart jams, lemon curds, small cookies, etc. Each guest takes a napkin, a small plate, and a butter knife for spreading jam, cream or sweet butter. | | | The climate and terrain in the area where tea shrubs are grown have a considerable effect on the flavor of the harvest, so regions of origin are often a part of a tea's name. | | | Predictably, the flavor of a semi-fermented tea is somewhere in between black tea and green tea. |

| | Tea cuisine quickly expanded in range to quickly include wafer thin crustless sandwiches, shrimp or fish pates, toasted breads with jams, and regional British pastries such as scones (Scottish) and crumpets (English). | | | Tea was the major beverage served in the coffee houses, but they were so named because coffee arrived in England some years before tea. | | | Tea remained popular in France for only about fifty years, being replaced by a stronger preference for wine, chocolate, and exotic coffees. |

| | Catherine's Afternoon Tea |
| | “Afternoon Tea,” eventually became known as "Low Tea," because it was usually taken in a sitting or withdrawing room where low tables (like coffee or end tables) were placed near sofas or chairs to accommodate guests. | | | Most people refer to Afternoon Tea as “High Tea.” Although High Tea sounds regal and lofty, High Tea or, "Meat Tea" is in reality, dinner. | | | In the letter, she mentioned her surprise that some people “took milk in their tea.” Afternoon Tea would not become popular in England until the mid 1840's, nearly a century later. |
