Q & A (Afternoon Tea)
Customer:
Is afternoon tea the same as high tea? High tea is the one with the little cakes right?
Tea Store Owner:
Afternoon tea is a light meal served between 3pm and 5pm. Historically the English would have this meal every day, however as time has progressed this custom has fallen out of fashion. In the United States this meal is often served in cafes or hotels for people who are celebrating a special occasion. Many people mistakenly call Afternoon Tea "high tea" because it sounds more elegant. High Tea is the main meal at the end of the day, and is served on "high" tables in the dinning room, while Afternoon Tea (sometimes called "low" tea) is served on coffee tables while the guests sit on low chairs or sofas.

I am just around the corner from you and really should get in for tea more often. I will work on that.
