Let’s Take Tea Shall We?

“Let’s Take Tea”, this phrase can be taken quite literally and refers to brewing and sharing a cup

of tea with someone but it also refers to tea as a meal. In the north of England, Scotland, Wales

and Northern Ireland “Tea” refers to the main evening meal. “High Tea” is an early evening meal

eaten between 5 and 7 pm and would be

followed by a larger meal later in the evening.

“Low Tea”, or “Afternoon Tea”, is a light snack

eaten between 2 and 5 pm, typically

consisting of sandwiches. Interestingly, the

use of “Low” and “High” referred to the height

of the table where tea was taken. While

“taking tea” habits have changed over the

years one thing is for sure, here at Dollies we

enjoy your company and it is our pleasure to

serve you no matter what you wish to call it.

Hope to see you soon! - Amy

Wildflower Tea

He brewed his tea in a blue china pot, poured it into a chipped white cup with forget-me-nots

on the handle, and dropped in a dollop of honey and cream. He sat by the window, cup

in hand, watching the first snow fall. “I am,” he sighed deeply, “contented as a clam. I am a most happy man.”
