What better way to pass a wintry afternoon than surrounded by luscious long-stemmed roses, petit-fours, neat watercress sandwiches, fragrant turkish delight and the gentle tinkling of conversation? Allow us to introduce you to our favourite spots in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg for a luxurious High Tea.

\nBut first a little on Afternoon Tea etiquette:<\/p>\n

Milk first or last?<\/h2>\n

“I know very well that I am in a minority here. But still, how can you call yourself a true tea-lover if you destroy the flavour of your tea by putting sugar in it? It would be equally reasonable to put pepper or salt. Tea is meant to be bitter, just as beer is meant to be bitter. If you sweeten it, you are no longer tasting the tea, you are merely tasting the sugar; you could make a very similar drink by dissolving sugar in plain hot water.” <\/em><\/h3>\n

George Orwell, “A Nice Cup of Tea,”\u00a0Evening Standard<\/i>, 12 January 1946<\/p>\n

Some will say milk first but this is simply as a result of people drinking tea out of uncured clay mugs, it was feared the boiling tea would crack your tea mug, hence the milk was poured first to protect the mug. These days it is considered better to pour your tea first and follow with milk. This makes the most sense as you can monitor the strength of your tea.<\/p>\n

Don’ts:<\/h2>\n

Don’t stir your tea too vigorously and definitely don’t tap the teaspoon on the cup. To stir correctly place your spoon in a 6 o’clock position in the cup and fold the tea towards the 12 o’clock position. Stir in an up and down motion not in a circular motion. Afterwards place your teaspoon on the saucer.<\/p>\n

Don’t dunk your biscuit.<\/p>\n

Don’t leave your tea to brew too long as it spoils the taste. At the Belmond Mount Nelson your server will guide you felicitously on correct brewing times.<\/p>\n

Don’t take yourself too seriously, you’re not meant to stick your pinky out but who really cares, just enjoy yourself and add some more clotted cream to that scone while you’re at it.<\/p>\n

Cream Tea, Afternoon Tea, High Tea and Royal Tea<\/h2>\n

If you are simply sitting down to a cup of tea and a cream scone you are enjoying a Cream Tea, Afternoon Tea is a fancier affair including savouries, cakes and clotted cream whilst Royal Tea is an Afternoon Tea plus a coup of champagne!<\/p>\n

High Tea was traditionally a much heartier, simpler affair and in its modern usage is a bit of a misnomer. The Ritz in London has accepted that most visitors are not sure what an Afternoon Tea entails and now offer a “High Tea” which is really an Afternoon Tea.<\/p>\n

Do we need to dress up?<\/h2>\n

Smart casual is perfectly acceptable attire, however the opportunity to whip out your pearls, sports jacket and twin set can be quite fun.<\/p>\n

Do book ahead<\/h2>\n

Afternoon Tea is very popular so it is essential to call ahead and book a session.<\/p>\n

Cream first or jam?<\/h2>\n

It depends on whether you wish to follow the Cornish or Devonian method, the Cornish like their cream on top whereas the Devonians prefer it to seep into the scone (pronounced “scon” never “scone”).<\/p>\n

High Tea at the Belmond Mount Nelson, Cape Town<\/h2>\n

\"the<\/p>\n

Visiting the Belmond Mount Nelson for High Tea is like stepping into a giant layer cake with pink icing. There are chandeliers and flowers on every surface, with piano music floating through the air. Choose from an extensive menu of teas including a flowering tea and the Mount Nelson Signature blend which is made of Darjeeling, Kenya, Assam, Keemun, Yunnan, Ceylon, and rose petals from their garden.
