A F T E R N O O N T E A The English Afternoon Tea is attributed to Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, who was said to have complained of "having that sinking feeling" during the late afternoon and took tea with sandwiches and cakes to stave off the hunger in her boudoir. She later invited her friends to join her for tea in the afternoon and as other social hostesses picked up on the idea, soon, all of fashionable society in London would dress in long gowns, gloves and hats and meet for afternoon tea or “low” tea, so-called as it was usually served in the drawing room on low tables just before the fashionable promenade in Hyde Park.

Tea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 03-11-09 12:04 Tea From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tea is the agricultural product of the leaves, leaf buds, and internodes of the Camellia sinensis plant, prepared and cured by various methods. "Tea" also refers to the aromatic beverage prepared from the cured leaves by combination with hot or boiling water,[1] and is the common name for the Camellia sinensis plant itself. After water, tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world.[2] It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavour which many enjoy.[3] The four types of tea most commonly found on the market are black tea, oolong tea, green tea and white tea,[4] all of which can be made from the same bushes, processed differently, and in the case of fine white tea grown differently. Pu-erh tea, a post-fermented tea, is also often classified as amongst the most popular types of tea.[5] Green Tea leaves in a Chinese The term "herbal tea" usually refers to an infusion or tisane of gaiwan. leaves, flowers, fruit, herbs or other plant material that contains no Camellia sinensis.[6] The term "red tea" either refers to an infusion made from the South African rooibos plant, also containing no Camellia sinensis, or, in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other East Asian languages, refers to black tea.

Park Hyatt Zürich
www.TheSwissTeaSommelier.ch Afternoon Tea in Zurich 2020/2021 There is a craze for Afternoon Tea at hotels in London and the heavy competition is the driving force behind many a beautiful idea. In Zurich, there is much less demand for Afternoon Tea. Hence, you could be thinking there is little need to excel. The following places, however, do a job that ranges from fairly decent to seriously impressive: Carlton (Bahnhofstrasse 41, 8001 Zürich; 044 227 19 19) From September to May, i.e. all year round with the exception of 3 months (and maybe December when most people run up and down Bahnhofstrasse in search of presents and, therefore, are not relaxed enough), the Carlton offers a very nice Afternoon Tea indeed. The tea menu is a notable exception in that it is well written, too. The teas are explained in detail and the more than fair selection comprises both renowned teas as well as rare ones. Their three-tiered stand is filled with an impressive selection of sandwiches, cakes and biscuits, small tartlets and mini glasses with vanilla cream. To top it all off, the scones and their usual accompaniments are served as a separate course. And just when you feel well pampered, your waitress will appear at the table with a small portion of bread & butter pudding. Ask for someone to show you how to remove the sieve with loose tea before the time is up and your tea has turned bitter. The Carlton pots are cleverly designed and even heated up prior to serving. Now this is attention to detail ! www.TheSwissTeaSommelier.ch Park Hyatt Zürich (Beethovenstrasse 21, 8002 Zürich; 043 883 10 15) The Afternoon Tea at the Park Hyatt Zurich is a bit of a find.

UPTON TEA QUARTERLY .Established 1989. Vol 26 No. 4 Holliston, Massachusetts Fall, 2017 Understanding Taste The Quest for Flavor TEA-TASTERS DECIDING UPON THE QUALITY AND VALUE OF A NEW CARGO IN A WHOLESALE WAREHOUSE A sketch from Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper, February 12, 1876. W hen professional tea-tasters sip a spoonful of tea, they do so with an enthusiastic slurp that would be considered inappropriate at the dinner table. In an interview published at businessdailynews.com, veteran Tetley tea-taster, Sebastian Michaelis, described the slurping as sounding “pretty horrendous if you’ve not heard it before.” Whether or not the average tea-taster understands the complex flavor cognition system that Gordon M. Shepherd refers to as the human brain flavor system, they have known for over a century that exposing the retronasal receptors to tea vapors, with a pretty horrendous sounding slurp, is essential to proper tea evaluation.

NEW AFTERNOON TEA May 02.05 2017.Indd
The Langham Afternoon Tea with Wedgwood #PalmCourt The History of the Afternoon Tea at The Langham Dating back to 1865, English A! ernoon Tea is credited to the Duchess of Bedford. " e legend says that the # rst lady to enjoy ‘a! ernoon tea’ was Anna Maria, the 7th Duchess of Bedford who lived at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire and was lady-in-waiting to Queen Victoria. " e Duchess of Bedford is said to have experienced a ‘sinking feeling’ in the middle of the a! ernoon one day and asked her footman to deliver all the tea making equipment with some bread and butter to her private room. She found this new meal so satisfying and enjoyable that she soon started inviting her special friends to join her for ‘a! ernoon tea’. Even when she went to stay with her aristocratic friends in their manor houses, she took her own kettle and tea making items with her so that she could continue her a! ernoon parties when she was away from home. " e simple platefuls of bread and butter that # rst accompanied a! ernoon tea developed into much more elaborate selections of sandwiches, scones, buns, cakes, biscuits, gâteaux and fruit desserts. " e centre piece of " e Langham, London - the dazzling Palm Court is famed as the place where the tradition of a! ernoon tea was born 150 years ago. An indulgence that lives on today and the heart of enchanting hospitality. " e Story Back to the Classics is " e Langham, London’s new look on a! ernoon tea, bringing the cra! man- ship of the team at the forefront of the creation.
