| Sydney High Tea
The practice of taking Afternoon Tea, also known as High Tea, was made popular in England in the early nineteenth century by the Duchess of Bedford after she reportedly suffered from "a sinking feeling" at about four o'clock in the afternoon. She initially took tea and a light snack in her rooms, but then began sending out formal invitations asking guests to join her for "tea and walking in the fields", serving them small cakes, sandwiches, a selection of sweets and of course, tea. It wasn't long before all of fashionable society was sipping tea and nibbling sandwiches in the middle of the afternoon.
