Tea time refers to a social event or custom in which people gather together for an afternoon snack and/or tea, usually accompanied by light refreshments such as sandwiches, cakes, scones, and pastries. It is typically observed in the late afternoon, around 4 pm, and can be seen as a way to unwind after work or school while enjoying some delicious treats with friends or family members. The tradition of tea time has its roots in England but is now practiced all over the world, including in countries such as India, Sri Lanka, and Japan where it has been adapted to local customs and flavors.
