Trying BRITISH Afternoon Tea.. in Sri Lanka?? + Tea Plantation Tour & Epic Hike (Nuwara Eliya)

Filmed in February, 2020 - It’s our final adventure in Sri Lanka and we saved the best for last! We’re having English-style High Tea in the mountain town of Nuwara Eliya. ☕️🥪 First we toured the country’s largest tea plantation and then tried some of their delicious teas and finger foods at the Grand Hotel. We finished out the trip with a beautiful hike in Horton Plains to the World’s End viewpoint. It was the perfect end to an amazing trip 😍

[@Alun49]

When I was a child in the 1960's, visiting my grandparents is what was the North Riding of Yorkshire, meals were still served at traditional times. Breakfast was cooked and the main meal of the day was at lunch time. Tea was late afternoon when my grandfather came back from work. It was known as "tea time" by everyone back then. "Tea" would consist of sandwiches and cakes and of course tea! Supper was around nine o'clock and would be cold ham (which my granddad called "Tiger") and cheese and more tea. My parents also had the main meal at lunch time until about 1970 when we stared having an evening meal as my mum was working. What was the common practice has now completely gone in British culture and nobody has "Tea time" in the way we did as children. So that tradition ended fifty years ago and is all but forgotten. Traditional High Tea is a thing of speciality tea shops and still a marvellous but lost from home culture sadly.

Sri Lanka is a wonderful country for a holiday. Spent 3 weeks travelling around including visiting Mackwoods which was the original tea plantation. Coffee died off because of a pest and a Scots man changed the country forever by moving the plantations to tea. Ceylon tea was pretty much the foundation of the British Empire that is, "I'll just put on the kettle".

[@PckLyA]

"changed the country forever" is true in more ways than one. These highlands were partly montane forest which got cut down. The other part was people's land which the authorities confiscated because they couldn't prove kinship (the notion of deeds was not existent in Sri Lankan kingdoms as all land belonged to the king, and this was used as a guise for land acquisition). Moreover, the whole demographics of the highlands were altered. Native Sri Lankans flatly refused to work for the British plantations, and therefore the Brits imported hundreds of thousands of laborers from Southern India. To this day, almost all the workers working in tea fields are descended from these Indian laborers, and they still unfortunately live in squalid conditions as one of the most impoverished groups in the country.

[@MarkSmithSa]

@@PckLyA Better tea than no tea.

[@truebelief3631]

@Dev De Silva The Indians brought to work in the plantations were indentured labourers, not slaves. Know the difference. You also forget to mention that after Ceylon as it was then became independent in 1948 these people became stateless. Under the Srimavo Shastri pact, nearly half a million were repatriated back to India. It is relatively recently that the remainder have been granted SL citizenship.

[@chamindadecosta3970]

As a Scot, I try to explain Afternoon Tea and High Tea. Afternoon Tea traditionally is small sandwiches and maybe other savory things, followed by cakes like Victoria Sponge (named after the Queen) and Scones with clotted cream and jam. High Tea is more of a meal, often hot food served with tea. In Scotland you can even have a Fish Tea consisting of fish and chips, peas, bread and butter and a cup of tea. Strange as it seems, the word Tea in many parts of the UK also means the evening meal! ..... Us Brits are strange, but we love our tea :))

[@zacrenfree7827]

So true, people in the North of England call our Evening meal. Tea

[@simhedgesrex7097]

Yes - absolutely NOTHING to do with the kind of chair/table you use. The menu in the video looks like afternoon tea to me.

[@TheCristallo83]

@@simhedgesrex7097 it sorta does. Afternoon tea was traditionally a social hour for ladies and drunk around a coffee table and low chairs. High tea bc it was a full meal was taken at your diner table in normal chairs.

From Tea Time Magazine: "Delectable scones, tea sandwiches, and cakes are the hallmark of an afternoon tea, which is served in mid-afternoon. A high tea, however, includes much more substantive fare, such as meat, fish, and egg dishes, as well as breads and desserts, and is offered in the early evening."👌🏻 Majority of places do Afternoon Tea... they may call it High Tea... but I've yet to truly experience one here in the UK. 😂😂😂 Yours was like a step up from an afternoon tea, which is usually only cold sandwiches, cakes, scones, etc. Looked delish and Definitely great value! Something like that would easily set you back £25-50 at a posh place like that. Also, if someone invites you over for 'tea' in the UK... politely find a way to clarify if they mean the beverage and a chat... or a full dinner spread. 😉😳😂 Lastly, the whole pinkies out thing is only in the US😂😂... if you do that in the UK, it's a strong sign you're not from here and you may get some people rolling their eyes at you 😁😳 😂 Another great video!

High tea is a much more savoury meal eaten later in the day - not sweet treats and small itty-bitty things. When you're in London next I can show you the rules and history of a real afternoon tea. I am not convinced mutton samosas is what the Duchess of Bedford had in mind.

Afternoon Tea is the traditional 4pm serving of tea with a few small sandwiches or cakes. Maybe a scone and cream and jam. High Tea was a Victorian thing, a meal originating in the nursery of a big house but which spread throughout British society but did retain an association with children. High Tea may have some hot dishes, particularly ones involving toast. As a 53 year old English chap I would say that you were having Afternoon Tea. Y'all keep safe and well in these interesting times.

Brought back many memories of my own trips to Sri Lanka. The pronunciation of Sri Lankan words does take some time - Nuwara Eliya is pronounced as one word - Nurayleeah. I spent Christmas Day there more years ago than I care to remember. The smell of tea factories is overwhelming. The tea plant is related to the camelia.

So, now you know :)

Afternoon tea, a ‘light’ meal of sandwiches and cakes (a bit like the bus tour you took on a double decker bus in London, only lighter, that was a bit over the top). High tea traditionally includes more ‘substantial’ and savoury items, like the samosas you had. When I was younger (in the 1960s and working class) I equated what I’d read about high tea with what us more down-to-earth lot called ‘supper’. My grandparents used to have a very light tea meal at around 4pm, then a savoury, but still relatively light meal, called supper around 8pm. No evening dinner, the main meal was taken at midday. For descriptions of high tea you probably need to read some Enid Blyton children’s stories.

[@maxwellfan55]

Helen. Interesting points. You are probably about my age (I was born mid 50's). Typically at home, 1960's breakfast was usually a fairly light affair, cereal/toast, tea, milk, or sometimes a cooked meal if time allowed. Cereal boxes were studied excitedly as they often contained interesting facts about footballers, aircraft etc, also things to cut out and collect, our family consisting only of boys. Not sure what applied to girls? Break-time at school consisted of milk, or if you were very lucky, orange juice in a clear half-pint bottle (rare and highly prized!). Dinner (at school or at home) was mid-day and substantial, sometimes attended by father weekday if work allowed. "Tea-time" was a nourishing but lighter cooked meal or salad served around 5pm, or as soon as father returned from work. We would hope the call to table wouldn't correspond with a favourite TV programme like the Flintstones, Treasure Island, or Top Cat! "Elevenses", was tea or coffee with a sweet or savoury snack eaten of course at 11am, popular but regarded as a treat mostly for adults. This was rural mid, and south east England. The terms "lunch", "luncheon" or "supper" were rarely if ever used, except, as you say in Enid Blyton books which I read avidly as a child. As far as I remember, afternoon tea was for posh people who didn't work, but lower classes did indulge as and when time and opportunity permitted, and very popular with excellent home-made cake and scones. Everything except bread was home-made, tea was always leaves and strainer, as I still insist on today, allowing tea to brew in pots, never from tea-bags. Some things remain sacred. Mealtimes were mostly taken in silence or with restrained, polite conversation between adults where manners were were strictly observed and scrutinised. So as a child I was often both scared and hungry at these events, fearing them more if guests or grandparents were present. Usually I would burst into tears if I spilled something, made worse because I was immediately scolded. The remainder of the meal was spent in humiliation and absolute silence as eyes looked down on me with unsympathetic displeasure. Except perhaps my brothers, delighting in my misfortune. When my parents lived abroad I was sent away to boarding school at 11 years old, where we had a cooked breakfast every day. "Light tea" was around 4 pm, consisting of milk, plain biscuits, or very occasionally a savoury such as half a stale pie which was not particularly popular, but broke up the time between meals.

Seeing my home town (at least grand hotel 😁) makes me feel super homesick. But what can I do, getting stucked at home in complete opposite side of the world😥 . But watching this kind of videos is what I do all the time these days. So thanks for the video and keep up em coming 😃

Would love that I do like my tea being a Brit 👌

Its Sri Lankan tea, NOT English.Sri Lanka and lots of countries went thru a lot of pain in this invasion and occupation....so please be respectful of Sri Lanka. How can u say English tea in Sri Lanka. Can u say Sri Lankan "muffins" in England....?? Think about it please....!

WOW! Thank for the new content. Keep these coming-we need these now.

The fact that the country of Sri Lanka are tea exports and British people colonized this country says a lot. British people have nothing and love to colonize countries like Sri Lanka and then act like their tea exports pisses me off. No to British Colonization and European colonization. Coming from a African can’t stand referencing European for crap they didn’t invent or experts on. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Lovely video! But you can't describe Britain as grey, cold etc... 1) it depends where you are.. The British Isle has micro climates and 2) it depends what time of year you are there.

Your videos are absolutely incredible and you show us amazing content. I'm so sorry about the fact that u have to spend a lot of money for entering those national parks. Anyway hope guys had a great time. Keep creating more amazing content. And stay safe you two.

"High tea" was a hearty working class meal served on a high dining table when the workers came home. The upper class meal served on a low table was "low tea" or "afternoon tea".
