Afternoon tea is usually laid out on fine china, with a large pot of tea and three tiers of treats acting as the centerpiece. It’s a delightful and relaxing time to sit back and really savor tea, treats, and good company. You don’t need to stumble into an old inn wearing a crinoline to find the perfect tea you can search for afternoon teas hosted by local inns and tea rooms, or you can immerse yourself in the fun of hosting your own! All it takes is some tiny food, creativity, and a good pot of tea.Īfternoon tea is an English tradition dating back to the 1800s of taking tea with three courses of finger food, sweets, scones, and savories or tea sandwiches.
Inside, I found roaring fires, Christmas trees, and the best, most inviting afternoon tea I’ve ever indulged in. Last year, I took a respite from the cold in The White Swan Tavern, a colonial era inn built in 1733. Townspeople dress in Victorian garb and stroll the streets drinking mulled wine and eating a combination of local and old English food.
During the winter holidays, my town puts on the "A Dickens of a Christmas" festival.
