High Tea emerged in Britain during the mid-18th century as a substantial afternoon meal for the working class, taken standing or sitting high stools, and later evolving into a more elaborate social event among the upper classes during the Victorian era.
Fonctionnalité Premium
High Tea, also sometimes called afternoon tea, is deeply ingrained in British culture as a symbol of refinement, relaxation, and social connection.
Social Gathering
High Tea is a traditional way to gather with friends and family, especially for celebrations or simply to enjoy each other's company. It's a more formal and leisurely experience than a quick coffee date.
Etiquette and Presentation
There is a certain etiquette associated with High Tea, involving the proper way to handle teacups, serve oneself, and converse politely. Presentation is also key, with attention given to the arrangement of the tiered tray and the quality of the china.
British Identity
High Tea remains a quintessential part of British identity, cherished by locals and often sought after by tourists seeking an authentic cultural experience.

High Tea presents a balance of savory and sweet flavors, textures, and aromas.
The flavors are a complex interplay of buttery scones with sweet jam and rich clotted cream, delicate savory finger sandwiches with varied fillings (cucumber, egg salad, smoked salmon), and an array of sweet pastries and cakes that offer everything from fruity notes to chocolate richness. The tea itself offers a broad spectrum of flavors, depending on the type selected, from light and floral to strong and malty.

Order of Consumption
Generally, one starts with the savory finger sandwiches, moves on to the scones with clotted cream and jam, and finishes with the sweeter pastries and desserts. This allows you to experience the full range of flavors without overwhelming your palate.
Tea Selection
Choose a tea that complements the food. A lighter tea like Earl Grey or Darjeeling pairs well with the delicate flavors of the sandwiches and pastries, while a stronger tea like Assam or English Breakfast can stand up to the richness of the clotted cream and desserts.
Clotted Cream Application
When applying clotted cream and jam to your scone, some prefer to spread the cream first, followed by the jam (the Cornish method), while others prefer jam first, then cream (the Devonshire method). There's no right or wrong way; it's a matter of personal preference.
Book in Advance
Especially for popular venues, booking your High Tea reservation in advance is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
