Around that time, people eat a late dinner (around 8 or 9 pm) fashionable.In those days there were only two meals each day -a mid-morning, breakfast-like one and an increasingly late dinner-like repast.The story goes that the Duchess found herself with a sinking feeling (probably fatigue from hunger during the long gap between meals) and decided to have some friends over for assorted snacks and tea.The idea of an afternoon tea party spread across high society and became a favorite pastime of ladies of leisure. Later, it spread beyond the highest echelons of society to become more accessible for other socioeconomic groupsSnackBaked scones(司康饼) served with cream and jamcucumber sandwichesAssorted pastries Keemun black tea祁门红茶 Darjeeling大吉茶 Earl Grey tea伯爵茶 Ceylon tea锡兰红茶 If milk tea，milk plus tea first.
