Tea consumption increased dramatically during the early nineteenth century.  Afternoon tea began when Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford supposedly complained of "having that sinking feeling" during the late afternoon. During this time period, it was usual for people to take only two main meals a day, breakfast, and dinner at around 8 o'clock in the evening.  So, tea time began in the afternoon with a pot a tea and a light snack, usually taken privately in a boudoir during the afternoon.  This gradually changed to tea time with friends in the drawing room.  What a lovely way to spend an afternoon!
