Afternoon tea is one of the catering methods. Today, it refers to the famous English afternoon tea in Victorian England. Afternoon tea is usually enjoyed from 3 pm to 5 pm. Afternoon tea is a product of Britain in the17th century, and it has gradually become a leisure habit of modern people. Drinking western-style pastry tea on a tall building or through a glass curtain wall, watching the hurried footsteps on the street in the afternoon, sitting quietly alone or chatting with one or two friends will inevitably add a little warmth to the dream, which is quite derived from the true meaning of afternoon tea in the distant Victorian era.

As early as Victorian England, afternoon tea was not only an elegant eating habit of British upper class. Due to the development of British industry in Victorian era, industrial workers working in factories became the main force of the labor force. The weather in Britain is wet, cold and windy, especially in winter. The nights are long and the days are short, and the time between lunch and dinner is long. It is often dark, but before dinner, the workers are cold and hungry. You need some snacks to satisfy your hunger. So, at that time, factories in Britain all had short tea breaks. Workers use tea time to go home, drink some hot tea, eat some pasta made by their mothers or wives, and then go back to work in the factory.
