About English afternoon tea

English Afternoon Tea is a traditional British meal consisting of a light assortment of sandwiches, scones with cream and jam, pastries, and often a selection of cakes, accompanied by a pot of tea. Originating in the 19th century, it was first popularized by Anna, Duchess of Bedford, as a social mid-afternoon refreshment. The tea itself, often black varieties like Earl Grey or Assam, provides antioxidants that have potential health benefits, including improved heart health and reduced inflammation. Scones, rich in carbohydrates, supply energy, while the jam contributes natural sugars. However, the clotted cream and sweet pastries may be high in saturated fats and sugars, which should be consumed in moderation. English Afternoon Tea is a delightful treat best enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet, combining cultural tradition with indulgence.
