I absolutely love seeing people open businesses that clearly have done zero research whatsoever on the subject matter they are discussing. "High tea" as in the "Americas" sure...? I think if you have AFTERNOON tea in Buenos Aires, you are going to be having a completely different experience. Or even afternoon tea at any reputable hotel in the US... Just say afternoon tea. I think these people think by calling it 'high tea' that it sounds fancy but in reality it sounds extremely comical because it doesn't mean high as in haute like High Fashion/Haute Couture, its literally for workmen with coal on their face eating a cottage pie and drinking a cup of builders tea whilst standing. Or its just a word for a meal that most of the time doesn't even include tea itself. Its basically a working class dinner.
NO! You got the notion of High tea totally wrong. It is not "more for the royalty". It's the exact opposite. High tea is meant to be for the humble "servants" of the house or laboring commoners in general, who cannot afford to do afternoon tea at the same time as their masters/the aristocrats, so they do it late, almost in the evening and standing up as they cannot afford to take their time to sit and linger, thus putting their teapots and tea cups on a HIGHER table, with almost to no accompanying extra expense pastries/sandwiches, so they make their teas just a tad sweeter to pass the hunger til supper.
I just made 2 videos with french tea rooms. I would love to visit this one !!!! I love that kind of shabby chic tea rooms. I love the athmosphere, the interior, and the good things to taste ! Best regards from a french fan !
I can’t believe that I just now found this video!!! Berghold is my favorite winery, and makes my favorite wine, Crankcase. It was my first winery that I joined as a member, and will always hold a special place in my heart, as well as my palate. I joined because of their amazing Zin, Footstomp, and stayed because of Crankcase, and my love and respect for the winemaker, Miles, and my undying admiration and respect for Mr. Joe Berghold and Mrs. Kay Berghold. Many of my favorite wine experiences have been hanging out at the far right corner of the main bar, and listening to, and engaging in, some incredible stories told by Joe. Many times, he has made my day!!! He always remembered where we left off from our previous conversations, and we made each other laugh many times. I’m hopeful to see him soon in the tasting room at his favorite corner. Love you, Joe! See you soon, Kay!
