The History of High Tea
High tea originated in the 17th century when the Duchess of Bedford created a tradition of having a light meal before dinner to avoid hunger. It later became a social event for women to discuss "tea business," while men talked politics over a long lunch.
In the present day, High Teas has become a popular way to celebrate special occasions and spend quality time with loved ones.
