Afternoon Tea or High Tea?

High Tea is often a misnomer. Most people refer to afternoon tea
as high tea because they think it sounds regal and lofty,
when in all actuality, high tea, or ”meat tea” is dinner.
We serve afternoon tea at Camellia Rose which consists
of the traditional English menu of scones and devon cream,
tea sandwiches, desserts and endless pots of tea!
High tea is a hearty dinner served late in the evening and
consists of meats, cheese and breads.
This meal was served after a long day
of hard labor for the middleclass.
