No one cares.


Incorrect. I was about to post the same correction. People who care about Tea, care.


+1

I also was going to make the correction.


+2

I would also have made this correction had PP not made it. Some people like it when the right words are used to describe something. Not a big deal, but lots of Americans think "high tea" is the "fancy" tea and it's the opposite. More of a learning campaign than anything to correct it.

I know the distinction and google is pretty good, but google images is very misleading:

It's going to be an uphill battle!

Yes, it's very important to win the battle for hearts and minds in the upcoming battle of high vs. afternoon tea.

I heared Colorado's new high afternoon tea is mind-altering.

My great grandma used to have us over for high tea.

Bacon, eggs, baked beans and toast
Three kinds of cake, including Mr. Kipling's French Fancies
Bread, butter, and cheddar cheese
Grapes
(And also presumably tea, although I didn't drink it as a child)
