One day in the 1840s, at the height of the Victorian era, the Duchess of Bedford woke up after a post-lunch 40 winks and noticed she was feeling rather peckish. The Duchess ordered her servants to prepare her a cup of tea, along with some pastries and a few small sandwiches – the idea went down so well she then invited her friends round to repeat the process. It’s said this is the origin of afternoon tea, a truly British ritual, originally only available to the upper classes, but which over time spread throughout the population, and is now being brought, reinvented with the freshness of mint, straight from the heart of London to Vincci The Mint 4*(Gran Vía 10, Madrid).
