Afternoon tea is a very famous tradition in the United Kingdom. It started a long time ago in the year 1840. A woman named Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, was the person who began this custom. In those days, people usually ate only two meals a day: breakfast in the morning and dinner late in the evening. Anna often felt hungry in the middle of the afternoon. She asked her servants to bring her some tea and a small snack to her room.

Soon, she began to invite her friends to join her. They sat together, drank tea, and talked about their lives. This small meal became very popular among wealthy people first. They liked the idea of meeting friends in the afternoon for a light snack. Later, it became a common tradition for many people across the country. Today, people all over the world associate afternoon tea with British culture.
