High Tea is a British tradition that takes having a cuppa and a snack to a whole other level of deliciousness.

Why is it called high tea? Well, a lot of people on the internet will argue over the true definition, but it typically refers to the consumption of a range of teas (or coffee), cakes, scones, finger sandwiches and tarts whilst sitting at a table (rather than a couch—hence the 'high' part of high tea).

In short, it's a fancy way to justify eating tasty treats (if you even need one).

You can create your own high tea at home, or you can find a cafe, restaurant or hotel that offers a high tea menu. Typically they're not super-cheap, but they're a delightful way to treat your Old Mate.
