English Tea Time

English Tea Time is a traditional social custom typically occurring in the late afternoon, often around 3 or 4 PM. It involves enjoying a cup of tea, often accompanied by light snacks such as sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, and pastries. This practice serves as a relaxing pause in the day, fostering social interaction and conversation among friends or family. Originating in the 19th century, it remains a cherished part of British culture, symbolizing hospitality, leisure, and the appreciation of fine tea and light fare.
