Today, nothing seems more quintessentially “posh” than a cup of tea accompanied with a traditional serving of an elegant Afternoon Tea. After all, images of Queen Elizabeth II enjoying a cuppa have become a cultural touchstone. But it wasn’t always this way. While the practice of drinking tea in Asian cultures dates back several millennia, Westerners wouldn’t embrace it until the mid-17th century. How did tea-drinking solidify into a fashionable and integral part of royal life, and where did it go from there? Royal commentator Amanda Matta, perhaps better known by her TikTok handle @matta_of_fact, will draw back the curtain on the interwoven history of teatime and the royals. Prior to the program, an elegant afternoon tea party will be served in courses. We will start with a salad, then a variety of afternoon tea sandwiches, followed by tea bread and a scone warm from the oven and finish with a selection of petite desserts, all accompanied by a variety of properly brewed teas.
