英式下午茶的儀式可以迫溯到19世紀(jì)40年代，該傳統(tǒng)是由之前英國的茶飲儀式和習(xí)慣發(fā)展而來的。茶最初在17世紀(jì)50年代晚期被引入英國，但由于價格昂貴，所以很長一段時間里，只有皇家和貴族才能享用。直到將近200多年之后，英國人才養(yǎng)成吃下午茶的習(xí)慣。在當(dāng)時，英國人一日兩餐: 快接近中午時分的豐盛早餐和晚上八點(diǎn)左右的晚餐。據(jù)說第七代貝德福德公爵夫人安娜開創(chuàng)了下午茶的傳統(tǒng)，以此來緩解晚餐前的饑餓感。她邀請朋友和她一起在下午四五點(diǎn)鐘吃下午茶。下午茶中包括茶和一些點(diǎn)心，比如精致的蛋糕及三明治。這些小巧的美食用精美的瓷器盛裝。下午茶很快就流行開來，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)成為優(yōu)雅英國生活方式的一個象征。正如小說家亨利詹姆斯寫道的那樣:“人生鮮有比全心全意享用下午茶這一儀式更愜意的時刻了。”
