It’s Tea Time / High Tea

Due to the great success of our first High Tea, I have planned a second one.

Please join us for the wonderful experience of High Tea, a British tradition that involves enjoying a light meal of tea, sandwiches, scones, and cakes in the mid-afternoon, typically between 3:30 and 5 pm.

It all started when around 4:00 pm Anna, the Duchess of Bedford in the 19th century would ask for tea, finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, and cakes to be served in her room. What began as a private affair became more of a social occasion (or tea party!) when the Duchess got into the habit of inviting relatives and friends to join her. At the time, tea would be served on low comfortable chairs and tables. And all the while the Duchess and her guests would chat and gossip. And, when available, they'd enjoy the entertainment.
So as the invites from the Duchess kept coming and more people started to host their own gatherings, afternoon tea slowly turned into a tradition all over the country.

There will be 9 of us and there are 3 spots left. The first 3 to rsvp will have a spot at the table for tea, delicious bites, and great conversation.

If you have any questions, please call me. My number is (617) 686-9066.
