While Americans commonly use the English term "high tea" to refer to an aristocratic tea ceremony, this usage is in fact incorrect. The United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries consider tea from both an aristocratic and a working class perspective. An example of this is the "builder's tea" - a strong tea drunk with milk and sugar that bears his name because he is a favourite of construction craftsmen. High tea" refers to the physical height of the table, which means that it is served at a high table rather than a low table. In other words, high tea content tea refers to the combination of a light tea meal and a dinner in a single meal. In fact, in some parts of the United Kingdom, dinner is simply called "tea". Thus, although it certainly looks elegant, high quality tea is significantly inferior to the tradition of the recreational class of having a "light tea" of light snacks followed by a more elaborate and later supper. Incidentally, "low tea" is an expression that has largely abandoned popular usage, "afternoon tea" is more representative of how the British would refer to the luxurious teapots of the variety scones and crumpets.

Depending on the manufacturer, the taste may be slightly sweet, bitter or malty.
