Duchess of Bedford began to suffer from "bad feeling" in the stomach about 4:00 pm , that’s why she used to order her servants to bring her a tray with tea, bread and butter. Anna appreciated the feeling of comfort, so she began to experience such a "refreshment" every day and it became her habit. She began to invite friends to join her at about 5 o "clock in the afternoon in her chambers in Bivver Castle to share tea with her. Back in London, the Duchess continued the tradition, and soon the other ladies had such tea-drinking as a regular practice.
Thus afternoon tea party was a social event. Ladies of high society had guests in the living room between 4 and 5 o "clock. They exchanged gossip, planned the evening and met new people.
