English tea
Black breakfast beverage
English tea refers to the British tradition of afternoon tea—a light meal typically served between 3 and 5 p.m., featuring tea with small sandwiches, scones, and pastries.
The phrase also describes strong black tea blends favored in Britain, such as English Breakfast.
We stopped for English tea at a hotel in London.
