The History of Afternoon Tea Anna the 7th Duchess of Bedford, is often credited with the invention of the tradition of afternoon tea in the early 1840s. During this period, dinner was not served until 9pm and the Duchess often became hungry. She would secretly order a small meal of bread, butter and other nicities to be brought to her boudoir.
When the Duchess was exposed she was not ridiculed as she had feared, instead her habit caught on and the concept of a small meal of cakes, tarts, biscuits and tea became popular and eventually known as ‘afternoon tea’.
Nowadays, afternoon tea is a ceremony of celebration for many people and a real social event.
