CULTURAL MANIFESTATION

 AFTERNOON TEA


In England it is a unique tradition and custom to drink tea, better known as afternoon tea. It is the best known English tradition of all; at least, as far as gastronomic traditions are concerned. We can see it represented in movies, cartoons, books or plays, among others.



Tea for the English is much more than the mere fact of drinking an infusion. It is an act of meeting with family, friends or people we want to please or like.

Tea time is between 3 and 5 in the afternoon, however, tea is not only taken at that time, most English people have breakfast with a tea, usually a black tea and, generally, with a milk cloud. Throughout the day, in addition, they usually take two or three more. This makes it rare to find a house without a kettle and good black tea. The tradition of tea time in England is usually taken with family or friends, so if when you are there a native invites you to tea, he is inviting you to a pleasant and pleasant chat; to a moment of listening and sharing. 


For that last reason I leave you the following video so that you learn to drink tea and not go through an embarrassing moment!

  2. This is very interesting, what great research you did, I personally really like this custom, I would like to go to England to try it with some friends. I have also investigated this beautiful custom and discovered that it originated in China and was adopted by the English in the 19th century, in my opinion it's a curious fact. :)
