Five O’Clock Tea Time at Pousadas de Portugal

•

Originally from China, tea was introduced to Europe by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century.

Known as a typically British custom, the "five o’clock tea time" was introduced to the English court by Catarina de Bragança, a Portuguese princess, daughter of D. João IV, when she married Charles II of England.

Pousadas de Portugal recreate this highly sophisticated and elegant ritual and between 4:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., you can indulge in a delicious Five O’Clock Tea Time accompanied by regional Portuguese sweets.

Includes:

• A selection of teas and tisanes
• Regional sweets
• Toast
• A selection of jam, honey and butter
