Victorian afternoon tea was invented by Anna Duchess of Bedford, one of Queen Victoria's ladies-in-waiting. She invited friends to join her in a light afternoon meal with tea. Afternoon tea became a pleasant social event that is still celebrated around the world today! It is a wonderful ritual that brings beauty and grace into the life of your family and friends and is a wonderful way to get to know some of your neighbors.
