When I am in England I love afternoon tea.
Scones with jam and cream, little sandwiches and then sweets. So yummy with many cups of tea.
I have been having a cup of tea in the afternoon with some cookies . These cookies are almost guilt free. Very thin and very tasty.
I love my tea with milk and sugar. Funny since I drink my coffee black. I find the tea and small snack very comfortably in these trying times.

I only drink green or black iced tea, except for when I drink herbal slimming tea or super dieters tea.

I drink both green and black iced tea but hot afternoon tea is more about the experience.

@Spontaneo I have eaten my fair share. With a high tea there is usually a motor meal component like cottage pie

@BelleStarr I would love to have a High Tea! Atleast I think that is what it is called. Do you ever serve cucumber sandwiches?

@bellestarr How very civilised, afternoon tea. I prefer Earl Grey, with an Empire biscuit.

I’ve done that several times and it is special. We went to a tea dance in London as well, lol but tea at the Orangery st Kensington Palace is my favorite.

@BelleStarr At least you are sophisticated enough to drink tea unlike many of your fellow countrymen

@BelleStarr It seems like it tastes better than biscuits.

The flavor of peppermint tea is great but it's a diuretic so if you have a condition that requires you stay hydrated you really shouldn't drink it @BelleStarr

@BelleStarr Coronation chicken is delicious, both my husband and I like salmon, particularly Scottish smoked salmon.

@BelleStarr I can imagine. I guess you could try making your own - but of course that's hard work and not at all the afternoon tea experience!

@BelleStarr Yes, it does. It's been a long time since I had tea that way. Maybe I should have it that way today.

Do you like tea more than coffee these days? My grandfather was from Russia and when he drank tea he would drink it out of a glass.

No I am first and foremost a coffee drinker. But afternoon tea is a guilty pleasure. Yes I have seen those samovars with the glasses, a lovely traditional

Do you mean that in the picture is a samovar? I see that you like coffee better but also enjoy tea in the afternoon.
