As for afternoon tea, i wanna be trated like a princess and Tea when they say that the practice started with Duchess who found herself hungry between lunch and dinner. They started having her staff whip up what amounts to a very refined snack time, around 3 or 4 p.m., which was late enough in the day to work up an appetite and early enough not to spoil dinner. I would have tea and eat light finger foods like egg-and-cress or smoked salmon sandwiches (sans crust, of course) and bite-sized scones, tea cakes, and cookies. The duchess invited friends to afternoon tea and as soon as the word spread about this new hobby of everyone wanted in on the sophisticated fun and it became the fashionable thing to do in the afternoons. Contrary to high tea, this new high brow activity was sometimes referred to as “low tea” because the upper class ladies and gentlemen would sip their tea from their bone china cups while sitting in comfortable low armchairs.Due to its aristocratic roots, manners are of the upmost importance as part of afternoon tea. Put your napkin on your lap, stir your tea gently, eat daintily, and whatever you do, avoid crooking your pinky while you sip your tea or risk looking pretentious
