About Cream tea

Cream tea is a traditional British snack consisting of freshly baked scones, clotted cream, and jam, accompanied by a pot of tea. Originating in England, particularly in the southwestern counties of Devon and Cornwall, it’s a staple of afternoon tea culture. Scones provide a source of carbohydrates, while clotted cream and jam contribute to its rich flavor and sweetness, though they are high in fats and sugars. When paired with tea, cream tea offers antioxidants from the beverage, typically black tea, making it a slightly healthier choice in moderation. However, the high calorie content from the cream and jam makes it a treat rather than an everyday snack. To balance its indulgence, some opt for reduced-fat spreads or limit portion sizes. Cream tea embodies a delightful intersection of comfort food and tradition, perfect for occasional enjoyment.
