Cathy Windsors Tea Room, Sewickley PA 15143 |
The language of tea time is not terribly familiar to Americans. Snack time yes, cocktail time yes, but the concept of a mid-afternoon recess for a warm cup of tea and scone is strange to us.
Hi-Tea is a big production usually around 4 p.m - 6pm. Consist of small tea sandwiches salad, scones, and other tea slices of bread.
Tea is served by the pot covered with a quilted "tea cozy" to keep the brew.
British tradition- tea is served on fine china accompanied by Sunday best silverware the quality table setting takes things out of the mundane in and a whole new dimension people act differently when being served with the best.
