High Tea Melbourne
It would appear that High Tea Melbourne, Australia is quite a popular thing to do both in the central business district as well as at places in the suburbs and outer regions of Victoria.
Melbourne boasts some of the most delicious afternoon tea stop off points, places to sit, relax and sip a warm beverage whilst partaking in some sumptuous delights.
Scattered throughout the city you will find luxury hotels have opened their doors to the public at certain times of the day.
Here, you can indulge your taste buds and just let the troubles of the day drift on by.
If there is a special occasion to celebrate, why not consider making a High Tea booking - something certainly different to do.
Perhaps consider the same if you are wanting to raise funds for a worthy cause.
Most places have waiter staff to help you with your choices and all food is lovingly prepared by restaurant quality chefs.
Enjoy elegant, fine china and polished silverware, lace edged napkins and soft playing music.
Time to indulge the senses at one of the top High Tea Melbourne venues.
Typical tea cup, plate and saucer used for High teas compliments of https://flic.kr/p/fu6UY4What Is High Tea?
In the mid 1700's High Tea began in England as an afternoon meal being served mid to late afternoon. The working class male would 'stand' or sit on a high stool whilst eating cakes, scones, meat selections, cheese and drinking warm tea.
Over the years this tradition moved onto the more gentry class rather than the working class - this late afternoon tea serving as pre-theatre meal.
In Hotels and Tea Shops, the food is traditionally served on a tiered stand. The tiers are filled with sandwiches, usually filled with cucumber, egg and watercress, fish paste, ham, chicken and smoked salmon.
Others tiers and platters are filled with scones, jam and clotted cream, cakes and pastries and other sweet delights.
The beverages usually served are a variety of teas, coffees and cool drinks including Pimms
