Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, introduced the concept of Afternoon Tea in 1840. The Duchess often felt hungry in the afternoon, with the evening’s meal not being served until 8 pm. No longer desiring to wait that long the Duchess began to request her ladies in waiting to bring a tray of tea, bread, butter, and cake during the afternoon. Soon to become a pleasant pastime of hers, she began inviting friends to join her in her room to participate. This pause for tea and food became a fashionable social event as it continues to remain today…
