A traditional afternoon tea includes assorted filled with small sandwiches, scones (a kind of bun) with butter, jam and cream and a slice of "sponge cake" or some other sweet. Among the tea most popular black tea blends English, Earl Grey tea and smoked in China.
Do not forget that England is more common to drink tea with meals, and also to combine it with salty foods (see Inglese hearty full breakfast: eggs, bacon, sausages and kedgeree made with smoked haddock, rice, eggs and butter).
"The first cup moistens my lips and my throat.
The second away my loneliness.
The third gets rid of the heaviness of my spirit, made confused by
a lot of reading.
The fourth exhales a gentle perspiration, and dispersed through
my pores all the sorrows of life.
The fifth purifies me. The sixth
I opened the realm of the immortals. The seventh
, oh I could drink more! "
Tung Lu, Song of tea
