In simple terms, high tea is a meal eaten in the late afternoon that typically consists of small dishes, such as finger sandwiches and pastries, and is served with tea. High tea is generally thought to have originated as an English tradition among the upper classes who wanted to enjoy a meal between the often long break between lunch and dinner. Over a number of centuries, high tea grew to become a highly refined and widely practised meal as essential to many as breakfast or dinner. Today, high tea is widely popular around the world as a luxurious treat that provides a welcome escape from the pressures of daily life!

When it comes to dressing for your high tea, smart casual is always a safe bet! Some experience partners have specific guidelines in place around the dress code, but generally, a smart casual look is sure to be appropriate. Despite Sydney’s laid back atmosphere, thongs, singlets and strappy tops are often not allowed for high tea. Nevertheless, high tea is also a great opportunity to dress whimsical to really look and feel the part, so don’t be afraid to pair your smart clothing with fun and over the top accessories!
