In the beginning of the nineteenth century, the rate of tea consumption in Britain increased. During this period, it is said that the seventh Duchess of Bidford “Anna” complained of “a feeling of sleepy” in the afternoon. At this time, it was customary for individuals to eat only two meals of food during the day, which are breakfast and dinner at about 8 pm. The solution for the Duchess was to eat a cup of tea, and a piece of cake that she secretly eats in her afternoon dressing room.
After that, the Duchess was inviting friends to participate in her light meal in her rooms in Wubern Abi, and this became a summer tradition, as the Duchess continued to do so when she returned to London, where she was sending the invitation cards to friends, to ask them to take “tea and walk between fields.”
The owners of the velvet social classes have taken this tradition, which has become a high position, so that it has moved to these drawing rooms. After that, most of the high -ranking members of society maintained some snacks in the afternoon. The hotels were offered from time to time “tea at the end of the day.” The high -end classes were eating “first day” tea and “after noon” at about four o’clock before wandering in the “Hyde Park” park. The poor and middle classes were eating “tea at the end of the day” later, at about five or sixth, instead of dinner.
