Whether you've been obsessing over camellia sinensis for centuries like us, or you're a new convert only just discovering the magic of tea, precious little beats the first sip of a freshly brewed cuppa. And so, with National Cream Tea Day on the horizon, we're in the mood to celebrate the fine art of taking tea.
One of the most delicious traditions at Fortnum’s is our world-famous Afternoon Tea, and we’ve been serving up fresh pots of tea, alongside the most mouthwatering patisseries, sandwiches and more for centuries. And since 2012, we've served it every day in our Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon — an elegant space opened by Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, in celebration of her Diamond Jubilee.
So if you’re as potty about tea as we are, why not celebrate National Cream Tea Day with us this year? If you're marking the occasion at home, there are countless extraordinary teas (and biscuits) to discover — and better yet, if you’re in the area, join us in our Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon, where freshly brewed pots and tiered china cake stands of scones, sandwiches and cakes await. Now, excuse us: the kettle’s just boiled… | | | | Made Fresh Each Day at Piccadilly No Afternoon Tea is complete without a buttery scone. Cream or jam first?
