Afternoon tea culture was born in the 19th century and spread almost exclusively among the upper class in England. Considered a light meal and a relaxing pleasure of the aristocracy, afternoon tea parties are more elaborate in form and way of enjoying tea. Tea time usually starts from 4 pm, also known as "Low" or "Afternoon tea" because they are served in the room, in the garden with low tables. Although there are no specific rules, according to tradition, a standard tea party will include tea, sandwiches, cream-filled scones and pastries.
After the industrialisation of Britain, “High Tea” was used to refer to the evening meal of the working class after work, around 6pm. This meal was usually served at a table, with high chairs with backrests. Therefore, the portion was also larger and richer, accompanied by a pot of strong, delicious hot tea to help them quickly recover their energy after a hard day's work. Not long after, the culture of afternoon tea began to become popular in many countries, being transformed to better suit local cultures.
When introduced to Vietnam, English afternoon tea was quickly welcomed by young people. The pleasure of enjoying afternoon tea is no longer strange to Saigon people, especially in recent years. Therefore, if you want to enjoy a proper tea, or simply looking for a peaceful place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, try visiting Di Mai every afternoon to experience this elegant and sophisticated culture.
