High Tea has been an age-old English tradition. Sharing a warm pot of tea over scones, short cakes and savoury pies with friends in tapestry dressed salons was a mark of the socialising upper class since the time of colonial rule. Fortunately, the tradition did not fade but wielded its way into modern culture too. Today high tea is a casual affair and is a welcome reverie that celebrates the sweet things of life.
