英国维多利亚时代的下午茶让人感觉奢靡高级，到了今天却演变成人们的一种休闲习惯。一个人喝下午茶，无非是为了暂时逃离繁杂的生活，而几个好友共分享下午茶，那必定是不顾任何形象地闲谈彼此。对于我，这就是享用下午茶的意义。

English high tea is so popular during Victorian era. High Tea is often a misnomer. Most people refer to afternoon tea as high tea because they think it sounds regal and lofty, when in all actuality, high tea, or "meat tea" is dinner. In England, the traditional time for tea was four or five o'clock and no one stayed after seven o'clock. Most tea rooms today serve tea from three to five o'clock. But nowadays, English high tea becomes a kind of lifestyle in our life.

If one going to high tea, he or she must be fed up with the hectic life and need so relaxing place to get rid of all those worries. If a group of friend who going for high tea, their purpose sure will be gossiping about other. This are what comes to Kim’s mind when it comes to high tea.

我们点的传统英式下午茶以三层架的形式上桌，底下一层是用格里尔干酪搭配熏鲑鱼的三明治，中间层是传统的下午茶点心司康饼配上茶酱和鲜奶油，最高一层则是甜食马卡龙。我们额外点了一壶茶，因为这里的主张一人一壶茶，而且不提供为茶添加热水服务。

3 of them order a 3 tier high tea set that come with sandwiches, scones and macaroons. Besides that, they still order extra 1 jar of tea since TWG require each customer to order 1 jar of tea.

有个专访提到，这一家茶叶店能尝遍世界各地的好茶，据说共有八百中茶类之多，而且许多独创的茶类都无法在外头喝到。无论是中国云南的普洱，江苏的碧螺春，还是澳大利亚的雨茶，津巴布韦的山谷茶，或是我们少接触的印度马萨拉插，摩洛哥的薄荷茶，甚至是一些偏僻小国家的茶种，都可在这里找到。

你知道吗，当我们从茶单选茶时，根本就无从下手，只能随意点秋香。

According to an article, you can taste almost all the tea from the whole world. They have more than 800 type of tea and have many special and unique flavors that were created by them which you can’t taste it from other places. So, if you are a tea lover, you will love their shop. Kim’s say that when they get the menu, they have no idea what to choose since they have too much variety. They just pick it blindly.

I am Kim

I am Lily

原本和我同行的弟弟打算与丽莉和世刚一起享用下午茶度过时间，谁知他到了这间店便向我说他不能规矩安静地坐在这里小声说话喝茶，就独自去逛街购物了。日后提到这间店，他装模作样用食指和拇指夹着杯子细小的握手，然后右手举起杯子，左手托起杯盘，尾指翘得很好高，将杯与盘铿锵两下，嘟嘴巴轻吻杯角小口饮茶。动作做到这，我已经笑开了，然后他就会补充：都不懂为什么两口喝完的茶，一般贵妇人得边搁边聊边喝，然后还要分解那些小得不能再小的蛋糕饼干。

我回他：你哥我，做作的姿态已经比原本的自己还要自然了，还有什么形象可顾可言。看这一系列我称为「一条围巾的千变万化」的无形象照片，就知道你哥是什么形象了。

穿上布卡，路出一双美丽的眼睛。

穿印度纱丽头巾，典雅的女人。

旅途中曾见过的中国某少数名族发饰。

把眼睛笑得迷城一条线。

怪异的围巾缠颈。

染了一头麻布色的头发。

这张比较像样，有绅士用餐的感觉，只可惜表情夸张了些。

世刚：我这一张绝世之作就是经典，典型大马菜市场的大婶风格。

这家餐馆的装修带有古典的风韵，餐馆被镶着金色框架的镜子包围，金碧的灯光让人感觉此地富丽堂皇，呈现优雅高级的格调。大大小小的黄色金属茶叶罐子横行陈列，置放不同的茶叶。我想光是茶叶的编号和种类，至少也有几百个以上。如果有朋友朋友喜欢品茶，可到这里选购目不暇给的精美包装礼盒，或是一些精致的茶具。

The shop have an antic feel in their decoration where their whole shop are cover with gold frame, which also let you think of the great Gatsby which is so elegant and grand. Their tea is pack in metal tin with all kind of sizes. If you want to buy tea as a gift or for your own, here would be the shop they you should pay a visit. They won’t disappoint you for sure.

员工们正在研究茶叶。

若是有日因为现实的残酷而产生压力烦恼，建议你一个人到这儿悄然独坐，让那些精致的甜食振奋你的心情，然后静下心来进行反思回想。意兴阑珊吃着糕点，然后隔着玻璃幕墙看着外头的人来往返回，细心发现平日忽略的街道风景，用心感受每一个步伐和背影的温暖。

If you are facing so much stress during your daily working life, we suggest you to pay a visit to here and enjoy their high tea alone. This will calm your mood and let you think more wisely after that. You also can observe people that pass through their shop which is another way to let you forget about your worries and enjoy the afternoon by yourself.
