British Afternoon
Anna Maria, the Seventh Duchess of Bedford, is credited with the invention of afternoon tea in 1840. To relieve
her hunger pangs between light luncheon and her evening meal she asked her footman to bring her a pot of tea
and a little light refreshment. She began to invite friends to this new ritual and soon all of fashionable London
was indulging in afternoon tea.
Tisane
The word ‘tisane’ originated from the Greek word ‘ptisane’ a drink made from pearl barley, but is by definition any
herbal infusion other than from the leaves of the tea bush. Tisanes can be made with fresh or dried flowers, leaves,
seeds or roots, generally by pouring boiling water over the plant parts and letting them steep for a few minutes.
The tisane is then strained, sweetened if so desired, and served. Herbal ‘tea’ is best known for its medicinal effects.
Oriental
The origin of tea dates back to 2737 BC and Chinese Emperor Shen Nung’s discovery when the leaves of a nearby
tea tree fell into some water his entourage were boiling. From its Chinese routes, Japan started to learn about
and drink tea in the 7th/8th century AD, developing its own distinctive tea ceremony Cha-no-yu, based on the
Buddhist search for spiritual refreshment and harmony in the universe. This Oriental tea ritual is a combination
of both Chinese and Japanese ceremonies, taking you back to the Eastern origins of tea, by combining notes from
both tea cultures to create a delicate and elegant Oriental ritual.
