Pearl Continental Hotel Rawalpindi

High Tea emerged in England during the mid-18th century as a substantial meal for the working class, taken later in the day than afternoon tea, and incorporating heartier fare. It evolved as a response to the disparity between the wealthy, who enjoyed light afternoon tea, and the working class, who needed a more filling meal to sustain them until supper. This contrast cemented high tea as a distinct culinary tradition.

The flavors of High Tea are diverse, ranging from savory to sweet, providing a balanced culinary experience.
Typical flavors include savory elements from finger sandwiches with fillings like cucumber and cream cheese, egg mayonnaise, or smoked salmon. Pastries and cakes contribute sweet notes, with options like scones with clotted cream and jam, miniature cakes (Victoria sponge, Battenberg), and assorted sweet biscuits. The tea itself contributes a range of flavors from light and floral (Earl Grey, Darjeeling) to strong and malty (English Breakfast).
