Characteristics of afternoon tea in Britain

1. Tea: The protagonist of afternoon tea is English black tea. Traditionally, black tea with milk and sugar is used, which has a rich and mellow taste. But now more and more people like lighter and milder green tea and herbal tea.

2. Pastry: Afternoon tea needs all kinds of snacks, such as small sandwiches, muffins, scones, fruit towers, puffs, pancakes and biscuits on the three-tier platter.

3. Three dishes: The traditional afternoon tea snacks in Britain are usually presented in the form of three dishes. Each floor captures the eyes and appetite of diners, and each floor tastes different. The first layer is usually a sandwich, the second layer is a dessert, and the third layer is a fruit or tonic.

4. Tables and decorations: white porcelain bowls, silver tableware, vintage napkins, red and white candles. Different from other catering cultures, in Britain, afternoon tea is not only a delicious meal, but also a manifestation of culture and art of life.
