How to enjoy your cream tea

In this article we are going to find out some of the ways in which you can enjoy your cream tea. If you are looking for Cornish Cream Tea Hampers, and for Cream Tea Hampers UK, consider Cornish Scone Company.

The tea is supposed to be put or poured into the cup before anything is added to the cup. The best way to enjoy the tea is when it is pipping hot. The flavour is best experienced when the temperature if the tea is hot. If it is pipping hot, you are most likely to enjoy the aroma, the scent and the flavour of it more naturally and prominently. And hence it should be poured into the cup first, because of the cup has milk placed in it and you are pouring the tea into the milk then the temperature of the tea is dropped immediately and the moment that happens the tea loses the flavour and the original strong aroma of it. It is not like it will be completely gone but then you will experience it fading most certainly and undoubtedly. Back in the 1800 this ritualistic pouring of the hot tea was only possible when people were using bone China tea set because otherwise all other available material would crack at the high temperature of the tea. Luckily today we have a wide array of materials that can withstand the high temperature of the tea. But if you want to add the feel to it, then you can most certainly opt for a bone China set to make it feel more vintage and authentic.

If you are serving the tea to your guests, it is important that your give them the option of lemon, milk and the sugar; it is part of the tea etiquette. It is actually polite if you are not making any assumption on how your guests like their tea. If lemon is in the option, then slice the same very thinly and do not add bigger pieces. In order to add the sugar cubes make sure you handle the cubes with tongs. It is equally important that you keep a teapot filled with hot water nearby, should the guest feel that the tea needs to be diluted or thinned down. Some people prefer their tea strong while others prefer their tea light. So they should be presented with the option.

Savouring the sweets is important aspect of a good tea party. That is important if you are going for cream tea. A well-constructed tea should necessarily consist scones with clotted cream and jam and small bite-sized dessert. Sandwiches can also be a part of it, but if you are going for Cornish scones cream tea it is better so savour the flavour without the invasion of other flavours such as the ones from the sandwich.
