The best Place for English Afternoon Tea in Switzerland

As a tea lover, BLUME. agrees with the British when they rave about the magical experience of drinking tea. Fine tea is a popular remedy for solving problems, for example. And we can confirm this: The pleasant warmth of a cup of the finest Assam or Darjeeling tea has an extremely relaxing effect.

What does English afternoon tea actually mean?

In the 19th century, Anne, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, introduced a new custom that later became known as afternoon tea. At that time, there were only two main meals in England: breakfast and dinner. However, the Duchess regularly felt hungry around 4 p.m., which meant that waiting until the late dinner at 8 p.m. seemed out of the question (we understand this very well ). Instead of a full meal, she would order small snacks to go with her tea. This custom quickly became popular when she started inviting friends over. Afternoon tea thus became a social tradition and shaped a new way of spending the afternoon that still exists today.

According to tradition, English afternoon tea is also enjoyed in Switzerland to satisfy the small appetite between lunch and dinner. At the BLUME. Baden Hotel & Restaurant, we are passionate about maintaining this tradition. We therefore regularly invite guests to afternoon tea – whether after a stroll through romantic Baden, a long day at work or on special occasions with friends and family. Enjoy tea arrangements with scones and clotted cream, sandwiches or tarts, served in our charming atrium. We regularly announce the new dates on our afternoon tea page. It’s worth booking in good time..
