[ low tea ]

afternoon tea

It seems that only Sikang remembers.

Whenever the sun sets in the west, I like to listen to street rock on the banks of the Thames River and watch their rare moments of relaxation. If the Italians had already invited the beautiful woman's waist to sway, the British man would still be smiling with his Hanshou. They were the kind of serious and humorous people who could chat straight or curved, but the degree of restraint could be seen in the somewhat serious crease line of their trousers.

So it can be imagined that Prince Charles also needs to have Camilla in perfect harmony. Shakespeare can stick love letters to his chest, but Romeo and Juliet are also not allowed to kiss in public. However, the British are much more unrestrained in doing business, as it is a free commercial country where even the queen can endorse various brands for her own use. The British do not produce good wine, but they have established a global wine tasting and sommelier education system. But when it comes to food, I have no intention of 'looking up at the stars'.

British quirky dish: Looking up at the stars. The original name is Stargazy pie, also known as Hell Chant, mainly sardine and pastry bottom.

I used to think that Britain was a delicious desert, and going out would either be French fries or fish. In fact, British afternoon tea is the bond of food culture! Because the elegant female hosts who have created the delicious genes of British families for a hundred years are the ultimate fans of this lifestyle. Change, vitality, and passion are all quietly contained within it.

I think it's better to have afternoon tea to relieve the tension caused by lack of oil and salt. I had the privilege of tasting Bettys' afternoon tea before. Bettys Caf é tea room, located in York, is a tea house founded by a Swiss baker in 1919 and has a history of over a hundred years. I have explained before why it is not high tea, but low tea.

Exquisite, but not sharp. The steel women all become gentle in the lazy English afternoon. The noblewomen made an appointment at Bettys to talk about their feelings and share a time of same-sex compatibility.

The third layer Dim sum are served in bone china dishes. Counting from top to bottom, the first layer usually consists of macarons, fruit tarts, and small cakes, but due to different seasons and foot traffic, there may be different combinations at different times; The second layer is traditional scones with jam and cream; The third layer consists of sandwiches with various flavor combinations (usually cucumber sandwiches and smoked salmon sandwiches). Eating from salty to sweet, from bottom to top.

As for Yorkshire Cream Tea, it is a popular red tea paired with scones among locals, without any other small desserts.

Asian women, when it comes to life, it also depends on Japan. Before the child's husband comes home in the afternoon, every minute and second is his own. The women put on their jewelry, called their girlfriends, and tightly gathered around the warm coffee cups. A few days ago, I was on the Tokyo Peninsula and the English afternoon tea set for Christmas was also out.

The most eye-catching feature is still freshly baked scones, which do not have the uneven texture of low gluten flour ravaged by the original formula of butter, but are delicate enough to shine on the tip of the tongue.

The most surprising part of the Christmas afternoon tea menu for Tokyo Peninsula's invitation to try dishes is the peninsula's champagne, which is highly recognizable for its honey and toasted bread flavors paired perfectly with hot scones.

1896 is the year when the Peninsula Food Artist Organic Tea Menu was established. The waiter recommended me to order 1896, a garden that instantly transitions from early summer to golden autumn, which reminds me of the fragrance of organic tea in the Daylesford Art Gallery in Melbourne four years ago.

There are various Christmas Dim sum personalities from foie gras and tomato acid to cinnamon fragrance in the blooming flowers. There is a reason why you are expensive.

I am a serious bear lover, hoping that a friend with a cute brown color can spend some afternoon tea time next to me. In winter, this desire increases day by day. Who knew it would be achieved so quickly

Joint brand: Kent

Kent Brushes was founded by William Kent in 1777 under George III. The history of KENT BRUSHES is the history of British combs, spanning four centuries. With exquisite craftsmanship, Kent captured the discerning taste of the royal family.

It is the only brand in the UK to have won the ROYAL WARRANT for nine consecutive years. Despite experiencing the frenzy of the Industrial Revolution and the turmoil of war for 239 years, KENT's quality remains the same.

Kent's biggest feature is using natural wild boar bristles as comb teeth. Pig mane has always been considered the highest quality comb material, and its hair comb products were first used by the British royal family and nobility. The Indian wild boar mane selected by KENT is a globally recognized natural substance that is thin and hard, with various advantages such as being resistant to breakage, irritating the skin, preventing hair loss, massaging the scalp, reducing hair wear, and promoting hair regeneration.
