The pride of Wijs en Zonen because of the unique taste contrasts.

Afternoon tea is a British tradition that typically involves drinking tea and enjoying light snacks or pastries in the mid-afternoon. It is also known as "low tea" because it was traditionally served on low tables or sofas, as opposed to the more formal "high tea" served at a dining table.

The tradition of afternoon tea dates back to the early 19th century when Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, started having a light meal and a cup of tea in the afternoon to stave off hunger before dinner. The tradition soon caught on and became a popular social event, particularly among the upper classes.

Today, afternoon tea is still enjoyed in many parts of the world, especially in the UK and other Commonwealth countries, as well as in upscale hotels and restaurants around the world. It is often considered a luxurious and indulgent experience, and a way to relax and socialize with friends and family.
