10. Sit quietly in Pizza Hut, look out the window, be alone, have afternoon tea and clear up your confusion. Life goes on, and so does life. Plain, practical, simple, worldly and flashy, fleeting. A matcha cake and a cup of black tea is a delicious life.
Afternoon tea etiquette
Basic etiquette
Basic etiquette of afternoon tea in Victorian England
(1) The most orthodox time for afternoon tea is 4 pm (commonly known as LowTea).
(2) In Victorian times, men wore tuxedos and women wore robes. Every year at the formal afternoon tea party in Buckingham Palace, male guests still wear evening dresses, high hats and umbrellas. Women must wear hats when they wear daytime clothes.
(3) Usually, the hostess will wear formal clothes to serve the guests herself. I have to ask the maid for help to show my respect for the guests.
Generally speaking, afternoon tea features Qimen black tea in China, Darjeeling black tea in India, Sri Lankan black tea, gunpowder green tea and pure tea with traditional taste. If you drink milk tea, you should add milk first and then tea. In the early days, their afternoon tea was mainly Qimen black tea from China, because China had a long way to transport tea to Europe, which was expensive. Later, they slowly planted black tea in India and Sri Lanka and began to import black tea from India and Sri Lanka. However, China black tea, as the Far East, is still their favorite.
(4) The snacks of orthodox English afternoon tea are packed in three layers of porcelain plates, one layer is a sandwich, and the other layer is a traditional English snack Scone, cake and fruit tower; Eat from the bottom up. As for Scone's way of eating, it is to spread jam first, then cream, take one bite and then wipe the next.
This is a gentleman's etiquette. Most importantly, at that time, because tea was almost imported from China, the British people had unparalleled love and respect for tea products, so it was inevitable to show a rigorous attitude in the process of drinking afternoon tea. Even, in order to prevent tea from being stolen, there are locked tea cabinets. Whenever it's tea time, entrust the maid to take the key and open the cupboard to get tea.
