1840年,第七世贝德福德公爵夫人安娜?玛利亚?罗素每天都会吩咐仆人在下午4点备好一个盛有黄油、面包以及蛋糕的茶盘,因为她发现自己每天下午4点都会饿,而当时时兴的晚餐时间是晚上8点。很快她发现这个新习惯令人欲罢不能,便邀请另一些女士来加入其中。
This pause for tea quickly became a fashionable social event. During the 1880s, upperclass and society women would change into long gowns, gloves and hats for their afternoon tea.
这种茶歇很快便成了当时的社会潮流。到了19世纪80年代,上流社会女性则会为了享用一顿下午茶而专门换上长礼服、手套以及帽子。
What an afternoon tea includes
下午茶的内容
Traditional afternoon tea, which is typically served between 4 pm and 6 pm, is technically a small meal, not a drink. It consists of a selection of dainty sandwiches (thinly sliced cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off are a classic), freshly baked scones served with cream and fruit jam, cakes and pastries. Of course, tea or coffee, served with milk and sugar, is also provided.
传统的下午茶一般会于下午四点至六点间供应。确切来说,这是一顿简餐,并非仅仅喝茶而已。餐点包括精致的三明治(去边面包制成的薄片黄瓜三明治则是经典之选)、新鲜出炉的英式松饼配上奶油和果酱,还有蛋糕和其他甜点。当然少不了搭配奶和糖的咖啡或茶。
