0 Your Afternoon tea box delivery arrives in the morning, time to create an unforgettable experience with your afternoon tea. Turn it into a classy little presentation to give any tea room a run for its money and all with just a few touches.
Timing Is Everything
When ready to serve, take your afternoon tea box out of the fridge for 15-20 mins before serving so flavours can develop. Scones are best enjoyed warm so reheat in the oven at 160°C for five minutes to get that fresh-baked feel. For Afternoon tea box delivery, visit Afternoon Tea Box.
Set the Scene
Break out your nicest dishes, even if it’s just yourself. A tiered cake stand is the classic way to serve afternoon tea with finesse, however, pretty plates work just as effectively. Serve dinner on the patio with perky printed placemats and sturdy melamine plates in simple patterns, add cloth napkins, fresh flowers and maybe some mellow jazz or classical music.
The Traditional Order
The bottom third of the tower is best for savoury sandwiches, with scones and jam and cream in the middle, and sweet treats at the top. This progression helps you to appreciate the individual flavours without confusing your palate.
The Cream Debate
Devon v Cornwall – there’s no right or wrong here. Go to your corner and either spread jam first, then cream (Cornwall style), or cream first, then jam (Devon style) Whatever way you choose!
Perfect Tea Pairing
Make some fresh tea to go with your goodies. Earl Grey goes best with sandwiches and cream scones to suit English breakfast. Herbal teas make sense with sweet baked goods.
Take Your Time
Afternoon tea is not something that should be rushed. Slow down, eat mindfully, chat with your companions and bask in the experience. Keep your phone away and enjoy the time.
Accessorised with simple touches, your afternoon tea box is transformed into a memorable event.
