Study, work and live abroad
You, as distinguished ladies and gentlemen, understand more than anyone else the importance of dinner as a social occasion, where every meal is an opportunity to build relationships, and share your stories and experiences.
In England, however, there was no better occasion for socialising than "High Tea", the quintessential social activity for nobles.
At our farmhouse in the Tuscia Viterbese, we invite you to join us for an enjoyable and educational afternoon. You will learn the parts (both literal and metaphorical) that make up this important element of British culture. Contact us to learn more.
Afternoon Tea - 3 hours of speaking English, discussing food and enjoying a full English Tea - High Quality Sandwiches, Tea, Scones, home made jams... Minimum 3 people.
In this section we also show a few key British food videos we have prepared, presented with English and Italian subtitles and (when YouTube allows it) will have Italian sound tracks added.
1. The English Cream Tea - Sandwich Loaf
We start with the "English Cream Tea" or "High Tea", in particular the "Sandwich Loaf", that is frankly a fundamental part of British life.
2. The English Cream Tea - Scones
In our second video we present how to make Scones, the small cakes that accompany the Cream Tea (High or Afternoon Tea) you will find in Tea Shops across the UK.
Typically eaten with Clotted Cream (very thick cream) and strawberry or other jams. Scones are at the centre of the deeply loved tradition of Afternoon tea, the Tea culture that drives the consumption of 100 million cups of tea A DAY in the UK!
