Facts About Afternoon Tea

• This is a centuries-old tradition, an elaborate affair involving a pot of Loose Leaf Tea, sandwiches, sweet pastries, cakes and scones with clotted cream and jam.
• The practise dates back to 1840 when Anna, the Seventh Duchess of Bedford, decided she needed a “snack” between lunch and dinner.
• It is different from a High Tea. The latter first became popular among the working classes of Britain during the 1800s, involving heavier food such as meat pies and fish dishes.
• When it comes to the Tea served at an Afternoon Tea, the most common are English Breakfast Blends and Earl Grey. Those wanting to be adventurous, however, might instead brew up Cucumber and Orange Marmalade Tea.

Does Cucumber and Orange Marmalade Tea Have Caffeine?

Black, Green, White and Oolong Tea all come from the same plant: Camellia sinensis. The difference between each type happens at the factory, whereby Black Tea undergoes the most oxidation.

This means that it also contains the highest amount of caffeine - around 45-mg per 8-oz cup. Cucumber and Orange Marmalade Tea is no exception, thus making it an excellent choice for an energy boost.
