When thinking about a cup of tea many people associate the British with the popularity of the drink in the new world. While tea was only brought to England in the early 1600’s, the country has embraced it and made it a tradition for most households. The original use of tea was for the wealthy men. The supply was limited by cost and availability and because of these things aristocratic men had the most access to it. The term afternoon-tea was first used by Anna, Duchess of Bedford, who found herself in need of a snack between lunch and dinner. Traditional tea hour is from 4 to 5 p.m. and the tea is accompanied by an assortment of breads and pastries.
