According to the press this week ‘afternoon tea’ is overtaking coffee shops, left right and centre.
In fact, William Gorman, chairman of the UK Tea Council said, ‘What’s been happening in the last five to six years is that tea has become incredibly popular again. Hotels in London have really started to take afternoon tea seriously and demand for afternoon tea is colossal, and it’s a big earner !
Apparently many leading Hotels in London have become so popular that bookings are essential and some are putting on six sittings in one day!
