As a London tour guide, I offer tours and classes about afternoon tea. Sometimes they consist of attending an afternoon tea at a fancy hotel with a step-by-step explanation on the elements of the tea and offering etiquette lessons. Other tours include shopping for tea and discussing tastes and history in general. This is a subject that I enjoy. While I was born in Texas and drank iced tea most of my life, I have come to love a cup of hot tea with milk, as well as scones, jam, cream ... and desserts! My favourite tea on a daily basis is Earl Grey, but I often have a smoky lapsang souchong in the afternoon. I'm a big fan of crumpets, but those are actually a morning delicacy!
none, but you might want to try making a cup of tea and a scone!

The second handout is optional and includes a list of supplies and recipes to make beforehand. If you wish to partake in the tea, this is a fun way to enjoy and learn more.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
