But are you familiar(64)with the origin of the afternoon tea?Well,this is (65)whatwe will talk about today and then you'll know more about this traditional English custom.
While the tradition of drinking tea (66)dates (date) back to more than 3,000BC in China,it was not until the mid 17th century (67)that the concept of"afternoon tea"first appeared in the UK.
In 1840,Anna Maria Russell,the seventh Duchess of Bedford,started asking for a tea tray with butter,bread and cakes at 4p.m.every day,as she found she was hungry at this time and that the evening meal in her household (68)was served (serve)fashionably late at 8p.m.She found it difficult (69)to break (break)this new habit and soon invited other ladies in society to join her.This pause for tea(70)quickly(quick) became a fashionable social event.During the 1880s,the upper class and society women would put on gowns,gloves and hats for their afternoon tea.
