English Tea
This is the one that comes to mind when people think of English tea ceremonies. It all began back in the mid 1800s, when the Duchess of Bedford[] started having a tray of tea with bread and butter served to her in the mid-afternoon. You see, in those days, lunch was served at noon but dinner was not eaten until 8 or even 9 o'clock at night. John the duchess private poet, wrote a poemcommentary on titled give her tea, bread and butter which later became known as the afternoon anthem.
