Afternoon tea in London - The Ritz | Condé Nast Traveller

How do you take your tea? At The Ritz, waiters are sent on a special tea sommelier course to ensure they know the optimum way to serve – and drink – this very British beverage. There’s even a bespoke blend, made solely for guests taking afternoon tea in the hotel’s legendary Palm Court. Italian-born Giando Scanu, the resident tea master, shows us how they make the perfect cream tea at the capital’s most famous hotel for this treasured English tradition.
