Comments on: High Tea and Afternoon Tea: Do You Know The Difference? https://theteacupoflife.com/2019/04/high-tea-afternoon-tea-difference.html the best blog for tea lovers Fri, 18 Jul 2025 17:05:04 +0000 hourly 1 By: kathleen https://theteacupoflife.com/2019/04/high-tea-afternoon-tea-difference.html#comment-47735 Fri, 18 Jul 2025 17:05:04 +0000 https://theteacupoflife.com/?p=4704#comment-47735 Thank you for this. i often laugh when i see blogs and invites for “High tea” when they honestly have no clue about what it actually means. Of course, being American we don’t usually “do” tea, but since i am a tea aficionado (both the drink and the event) i have made a point of learning about it. i was part of a tea group for about 8 years which would do afternoon tea once a month – rotating hostesses. it was so much fun.

Thank you for the concise”ness” of it. We are planning and hosting a tea for our Girl Scout troops and want to make all we do authentic. Your information in the format you used will be easy to share and very understandable for our many scouts in Colorado Springs, CO (Daisies-Senior/Ambassadors).

And I would love hotels to get on board and get it right too!
There are so many blogs out there now devoted to the ritual of delightful afternoon teas with fantastic recipes and suggestions for sandwiches and cakes/treats to be served. And who knew that there were so many scone recipes out there!
Anyway, 2p.m. here, so time for tea in a china cup on a saucer and crack open a warm scone with some jam and cream.

I love tea! When I was young that’s what we were allowed to have for breakfast. It was usually tea with toast, butter and jam. This brought back a lovely moment in my life so thank you for that. I’m so glad to know the difference in the “tea’s” as I’ve often wondered. My parents would have coffee so after childhood I became more of a coffee drinker. I do, however, love my tea and will at times make a tea when the urge hits me. I’ve often wanted to have guests for tea but could hardly ever find someone that drank it. When my grandchildren were young we had many many tea parties and today they are both tea drinkers because of it.
