Who we are

In the winter of 2023 I had the pleasure of traveling to England and experiencing my first ever Afternoon Tea. I quickly became obsessed with the concept, and I have worked to create a traditional Afternoon Tea service right here in the heart of Temecula.

Afternoon Tea consists of tea sandwiches, scones (pronounced so that it rhymes with gone not cone), and desserts. The first ever Afternoon Tea was believed to be held by the Duchess of Bedford in the 1840s. The Duchess found that she would become hungry between lunch and dinner and requested that breads and cakes be brought to her. She soon began inviting friends to join her, and the custom spread throughout England.

Fun Fact: many get Afternoon Tea confused with High Tea, but High Tea refers to a substantial meal that would be served later in the evenings to the working class on a high top table. Hence the name High Tea.
