 July – Summer Secrets and Afternoon Tea


Today, summer envisages fun, sand and the sea. A time to enjoy the outdoors and go on holiday. Light-hearted conversation and thirst quenching drinks. In the olden days however, there were many traditions woven around the summer season……


Back then, society was not what it is today. Everything stood on ceremony. Etiquette played a large part in society and women could not enjoy their freedom at their own discretion. It has been said that in the olden days a lady was not allowed to socialize without an escort, except in her rose garden. As a result, it is said to have become a popular place for the ladies to meet, unrestricted by social boundaries and to speak freely amongst the roses. Throughout Europe, during the 1800s, the theme of the rose had continued to weave a thread, as afternoon tea flourished in both the public gardens and tearooms.

The women always dressed in fashionable tea gowns often with delicate pastel designs of summer bouquets. They also wore elaborate bonnets adorned with floral displays of roses embellished in silk, ribbon and natural rose petals. The tearooms were decorated with fabrics and trellises of roses for when the ladies met in Tea rooms indoors, instead of in the serenity of their rose gardens, to ensure that they would once again feel free to share their secrets and their stories among the roses.

Some of our own Tea products have been inspired by this very same legend of the Ladies in the olden days and their afternoon tea traditions. This summer, whether you are simply enjoying a single cup of tea or entertaining, be adventurous and creative in exploring the possibilities. Enjoy the best of Qualitea’s secret recipes handed down over the years!
