It was Anna, wife of the seventh Duke of Bedford, who is credited with the creation of afternoon tea. The custom at that time in England granted only two meals per day: a large breakfast and a dinner late in the evening. Anna began instructing her servants to prepare tea and cakes in the afternoon in order to reduce the empty feeling caused by hunger. This began a fashionable custom in Britain which has endured until today. The tea widely used to enjoy this daily routine is black Ceylon tea, otherwise known as Orange Pekoe or English Breakfast tea. The British soon began to realize that consuming this tea was not only enjoyable but consisted of many healthful benefits. Today we know it as such, and as a luxury black tea full of flavour and body which mingled with milk creates a beautiful copper cup.
