Cream tea is served in the afternoon and consist of tea and scones with some clotted cream, lemon curd and/or jam. And of course tea.

Two counties hold the Cream Tea close to their hearts, both believing this light meal originated within their borders yet differing in the manner the scones should be eaten. The Devonshire Tea or Devon Cream Tea hails from the county of Devon, where they prefer to split their scones into two halves, spread each half with clotted cream, and top each half with strawberry jam. Clotted cream and strawberry jam are essential elements of Devons variation.

Cornwall serves a Cornish Cream Tea by spreading strawberry jam on the scone first and then topping it with Cornish clotted cream. Whichever variation you may prefer, the love for the combination of tea, scones, clotted cream, and jam is one proven to be near and dear to the people of not only Devon and Cornwall but all who encounter this sweet treat!
