Afternoon tea etiquette is quite simple. To enjoy it at its most, you will find in this video an exhaustive list of the do's and don'ts of during an afternoon tea session.
This afternoon tea took place at the Fairmont Château Laurier: www.fairmont.com/laurier-ottawa/ . A big thank you to our friends at Ottawa Tourism who helped us find this amazing quintessential british custom www.ottawatourism.ca/

With all duty respect, it is always adviced not to take the jam or the cream from the common plate and spread directly on the scone or you will risk to have crumbs when you put the knife back in, not polite if there are other guests. You take a little quantity of jam and put it aside on your plate then spread it. I'm not British , but that's how i was told to do. The video is lovely to watch,thank you.

Comments like these are proof that commoners use etiquette to make others feel uncomfortable, rather than enjoy themselves in any setting. If I watched someone smear jam on the plate before the bread, I would assume the person is challenged. Don't assume that every ridiculous thing stuffy people did in the past is still applicable today. Use a lighter hand and butter your scone, not the plate. You're not 5. You can do this.

Another etiquette: no banging sounds with teaspoon against cup or cream. No sipping or slurping sound while drinking tea. Next etiquette: marmalade is for breakfast only and jam for afternoon or evening tea. Another: no elbows on the table. I learned all that above from the nuns who ran their boarding schools like an army where pupils marched in twos, learned strictest school rules like "no running allowed in corridors." Nuns were like the army marms who knocked coarse-mannered girls into fine ladies. They used to forever correct my faux pas. At the end, I saw the values of etiquette.

Hello Rita, I work as an English teacher in boarding schools in the summer time around London, and I always wonder what it would be live to attend a boarding school as a child. Care to create a video? Would love to watch. I am also amazed at the fact that along the rugby fields, horse stables, the Greek history and French classes, the balled dance studio, and the big performance hall they also get classes full of sewing machines and they do create their own fashion shows! I never thought this could be part of their education.

Actually.. you don't use your butter knife to directly grab jam & butter. Unless utensils didn't came out with j&b, always use the utensils that came out with j&b to grab your desire amount and put it on your plate so you can spread it on your scone with your own butter knife. In this way everyone can enjoy clean j&b. You're welcome.

You are a Brit, so I want to ask you a question! Don't you find it difficult to hold the cup in that way? Pinching it between my index finger and thumb and letting the bottom of the handle be supported on my finger is incredibly difficult! It's so heavy and puts a lot of stress on my hand. Is it that the tea cups are lighter weight?

allisonforfornsed tea cups are small and made from fine bone china, with the tea the cup is not heavy. What type of cup do you use? Remember it is something we have been brought up with.

Put the cream and jam on your plate first if it's a communal cream/jam. High Tea is for a high table, Low Tea is for a low table. From my understanding, High Tea was less posh than Low and a creation of the working class. At Low Tea, one would pick up cup and saucer whereas High, only cup was necessary. My grandmother instructed me as we had Tea every day, so this is my understanding as an American.

I am English and your video really made me smile! There is no rule about how to stir your tea. Why would you want to make a mess with it anyway? It is considered very common to put your milk in first! This is a complete no-no if you are out to impress! I have NEVER in all my life seen anyone try to break open a scone. I would die if I was with someone who did that! It is NOT bread! It doesn't matter how you hold your cup as long as you use the handle. Usually here everyone has their own individual jam and cream and is at liberty to put their knife in it if they wish. This is because it's very difficult to stop crumbs getting into the jam no matter how hard you try. You are right about the Devon and Cornwall thing but most people put the cream on first, then the jam. Hope this helps!

Yeah I’ve always kind of wondered at the willingness to pay these hefty hefty prices to have this when it’s so clearly cost so little I think it has to do with the fact that most people who are attracted to doing this simply do not have a proper tea set and that kind of stuff at home because definitely if you did it you could just do it at home, or for that matter you could go out anywhere and just simply order TV and some scones and a little something savory or whatever and it’s basically the same thing because all this really is an out is the tea some savory a little sandwiches scones and possibly some other type of dessert But I think a lot of it like I said is the fact that they get very enamored by the idea of the fancy China and the cutlery and just the overall location,

The milk is added after not before, boiling liquid being poured onto the milk would scorch it and impair the taste, when the milk is added after the tea is poured, there is less chance of it scorching.

The milk being poured before or after is still a class indicator. It stems from only the best china could tolerate high temperatures, so TEA could be poured first, followed by the required amount of milk. Another reason this was deemed the most appropriate way was that one could gauge the correct amount of milk more accurately. 😄

However, it requires a whole morning to process the food and table setting.

In the past, the MIFs (milk in first), were those people who did it to prevent their cups from breaking with the heat of the water. In those days, only rich people could afford fine china, and could pour the milk at the end, which is the correct thing to do, to calculate exactly how much milk we require, depending on the strength of the tea.

The bigger handle is very important so you can support it with the middle finger and avoid contact with the actual cup. "Doing the hook" means the cup pivots down and burns your hand, especially if you like to drink tea when it's still plasma-hot (like me!). Hotels that provide cups with tiny little ring handles please take note.

What is this " tea trolley" the gentleman came out with? I've never saw any of them hold loose leaves so wondering the term on what's the true name thanks

Well it pains me to see you are lifting the cup in the air for so long and don't take a sip...

Yeh...fellow Montrealer 😁 I heard birks has an afternoon tea here, never been however, good to know there's one not far in Ottawa 😊 Is it expensive? Thanks for the video and will look at more on your channel 👍

@mtlfoodsnob 2 жыл бұрын

Hello! I would presume that anything Birks related would be not the cheapest in town :) If you're looking for a nice afternoon tea, en.labrumedansmeslunettes.com/ does a fantastic set-up. Casual and very yummy. If you're looking for something more fancy, www.restaurantroselys.com/afternoon-tea/ is really where it's at. Have a lovely weekend!

@@mtlfoodsnob Why thank you for your response and question. Wow! How lucky am I?! I'm on lockdown here in East Hollywood, so I'm just cooking at home. I did two perfectly fried organic eggs with fresh ground sea salt and coarse pepper, two slices of organic sourdough, toasted and topped with imported irish butter, thin sliced organic avocado, and gently softened havarti cheese, with a side of red pepper, eggplant and garlic spread blended with habanero sauce.

Wow wow wow, that's an incredible dish description there ! I had to google "Irish butter" and holy molly, it looks like fat heaven. Hope you're having a relaxing weekend !

One particular thing you did not mention is, is the importance of drinking tea from a beautiful Porcelain Tea Set.👍 Taste a lot better than out of a plastic mug. Lol
