WHAT IS TEA TIME?

The actual time of tea time varies significantly depending upon your location in the world. We often think of taking tea, especially with a light to heavy snack, as uniquely British. Yet there are plenty of countries that practice some form of tea, though times may be informal or aren’t consistently observed

In the UK, tea time typically refers to the time at which afternoon tea is served. This time is usually given as 4:00 PM, but individuals may be earlier or later depending upon work schedules and breaks. Not everyone takes tea every day, and it may simply be an afternoon snack or can be an elaborate feast depending upon the occasion. Some people observe a slightly later tea called meat tea, which is usually heavier and is similar to the American dinner..
