Events Description
There’s just something about a perfectly steeped cup of tea that makes each day a little brighter. Treat yourself to our soothing loose leaf blends and an assortment of our signature sandwiches and pastries.
The History of Afternoon Tea
Tea consumption increased dramatically during the early 19th century and it is around this time that Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, is said to have complained of “a sinking feeling” during the late afternoon. At the time, only two meals a day were standard, with dinner at 8 o’clock in the evening. The Duchess’ solution was a pot of tea and a light snack, taken privately in her boudoir during the afternoon, sparking the beloved tradition of Afternoon Tea.
Indulge in a selection of the finest loose leaf teas served with finger sandwiches, fine pastries, and our house-made Mac Honey Scones. The tea menu features our own unique blend, Lady Agnes Tea, named after the original First Lady of Canada, Lady Agnes MacDonald.
