Amy started by introducing the tea served in the restaurant. She chose the Fortnum & Mason imported from the UK, which is a brand that the Queen of England Elizabeth II would drink. It is a unique and high-quality tea.
She continued to introduce the authentic way to have an English afternoon tea. The time taken for drinking afternoon tea in the UK is usually 2.5 to 3 hours and they will start with the salad and fruit at the bottom as the appetizer, and then sip at the tea for a short break.
When drinking tea, she mentioned several essential points. For example, the British would put sugar and milk first, and then pour the hot tea, because if you pour the hot tea directly into the cup, the cup will break. In addition, do not make any noise when the spoon is stirring.
Afterward, Amy introduced the signature dessert that is put on the second tier- scone. In the United Kingdom, the height of scones is more than five centimeters and restaurant-goers can have a taste of the authentic scone in Britshake. Ku said that British food is delicious to him.
The video was filmed in 2018. People are requested to wear masks and maintain social distancing when going out now.
