Originally the Afternoon Tea was introduced in Britain in the early 1840s. It is said that, around that time, it was Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford who complained about feeling somewhat hungry during the late afternoon. It was custom those days to eat only two meals – breakfast and dinner. The Duchess came up with a solution to satisfy her hunger. She called for a pot of tea and a light snack, taken privately in her boudoir during the afternoon. This quickly became the bridge between meals for the upper class and a whole social event on its own evolving to what we know now as the Afternoon Tea, sometimes mistakenly called High Tea.

The High Tea was a savoury meal paired with tea enjoyed in the evening by the working class served at a high table (hence High Tea).

​

One of the specialties at Koffie ende Koeck is serving a plant based Afternoon Tea which consists of savoury treats (sandwiches and quiche), scones and different kinds of sweet delicacies. The exact items differ from day to day, as we make different treats all the time ;).
