History of Low Tea
Low tea all began when the Duchess of Bedford
started to have tea with bread and butter around
mid-afternoon. This is because dinner wasnt
served until around 8 to 9oclock. The duchess
usually found herself hungry around those long
hours before dinner. Soon low tea became a
popular thing for upper class women. It usually
was served with scones with preserves, small
pastries, and sandwiches
