Dear Nicolas, as a teacher, I appreciate your sophisticated English, the kind of English no native speaker uses any more. At first, I thought that I had discovered a new educational channel for ESL students, but you offer more than that. You offer a complete lifestyle. It is so refreshing to just watch and listen because it reminds me of the pleasure of reading a book by Jane Austen. Thank you!

I’ve been trying to think of a word to describe what I appreciate about this video. The word isn’t sophistication, because that has a pompous connotation. I think it’s enjoying the simplicity of life, celebrating something so simple as tea and cucumber sandwiches. I am an outdoors, country woman, so it surprises me a bit how much I enjoy this. And by the way, I’m going to make this recipe. The lemon most likely makes it sensational! Thank you!

I grew up with “tea time” but it was down home Gullah style. We used to have these tea sandwiches and cakes that’s took all morning to make... all the moms and married women made them, the grannies brewed the tea (they were the only ones who knew what combinations went into infuser or cheese cloth because we made our own teas) and the young girls did the lemonade and iced teas. We’ve done this in our family since the revolutionary war... my favorite is cream cheese herb and cucumber sandwiches( or cream cheese, herb, and smoked salmon) , gooseberry sponge cake with cream cheese frosting and tea made with dried pea flower, lemongrass, and honey suckle...

Nicolas, your tip on adding Dill to the butter is GREAT! True foodie that you are in taking it next level, thank you. You truly are a beautiful person :)

This video has reminded me of the tea parties at my Nana's. Or even our family reunions. I feel so lucky for having such a wonderful grandmother. Fortunately the tradition continues through my mother and aunts. My Nana's tea parties were a real spread: sandwiches, cake, cream meringues, eclairs, scones,... ❤ It is really nice to keep these traditions and not forget them. Luckily I keep family videos that go back to 1939 where I can still watch how they enjoyed life at parties, weddings, horse races, swimming at The Lakes or going to the beach and even I can see them all dressed up comming out of a Pub making funny faces pretending they were drunk😂 (or maybe they were indeed a bit "happy"! ). Good old times. Not that I don't enjoy life too, haha. But now I live in Spain and I do miss these things sometimes so these videos are so wonderful to watch. Thank you Nicholas.❤

The table is formally set with lovely tea cups, plates and silver. The desserts and sandwiches are always delightful. After tea a paper is presented by one of us and a lively discussion follows. It is most wonderful. Our ages range over four decades. We meet ten weeks before Christmas and ten weeks after Christmas. It is a wonderful way to spend cold snowy afternoons.

I’m also in South Carolina. I have lived here my entire life. It is my experience that many families here have lived with this level of refinement since the earliest days in this country, however elegance has become an almost lost art here in the last 20 or 30 years. Many of us, the world over, are attempting to bring it back.

@@GAwildflower I live in Atl there is a great tea room in little 5 points called Dr. Bombay's Underwater Tea Party. Once we can get back to normal life you should check it out if u live near.

The Victoria Sponge was the first cake I learnt to make at age ten, using a recipe book. I then had to bake one every Sunday for the family until I left for uni.

How sweet of you!

You make it look so easy! Very enjoyable! Thank you 😊

Simply loved the video, the tea setting, the whole atmosphere, your soorhing style, very relaxing, thank you ❤

I love your content and the way you present yourself! Very elegant old soul but still very very relatable (when you said: I am not going to obsess about it) That tells me how unpretentious you are! 💖💖💖 So I have been binging on your channel! thank you!

This is a great video! My late partner was a wonderful chef. I tried to learn cooking but he always critiqued my efforts and because it took him a fraction of the time I would spend, I decided my role was table setting and washing up. I did, after 20 years of watching and assisting, absorb some of his ability. Though admittedly I am not the natural he was, I can cook. I've always loved savory tidbits as well as sweets, so tea is a tradition I admire. I also have lovely china, both ours and inherited sets with teaware, and now these recipes inspire me to try my own version of tea. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the wonderful video I am English & vegan and have been living in Australia for years now and this took me right back with the little sandwiches and especially the Victorian sponge cake that I used to make quite often but not vegan then, I will definitely try this one out.

Thank you Nicholas for your delightful videos they really do inspire me to live a more beautiful life! I am planning my first tea party for the ladies in my family! should be great fun! X

As a little girl I loved to have pretend tea parties. These videos make me want to have a tea party as an adult!! You are such a joy to watch. Thanks for all you do 😘

As an English woman noticing that there do not seem to be many British people commenting; I want to thank you very much for a beautiful video. Afternoon tea feels very comforting for me, and your video gave me the same feeling of comfort.

Hello! I’m also and English lady! So I wanted to ask as your not American if you can notice a slight putting on with the posh accent because I can hear some midlands accent coming through almost like he’s tried to change it to posh? What do you think?

@@melinamaria8523 I can't hear any Midlands in his voice at all, but I did notice he says "master" without the southern "aar" vowel sound, as in "maarster". I am from the North, and I do know lots of people who speak "posh" as you put it (me included), but it is still evident that they/we are from the North because of those vowel sounds. So I am not sure if he is affecting his accent, but I must say that I do know people who speak like him 🤷‍♀️

Thank you so much for your videos! Thank you for all the hard work and dedication in making them. One of my values in life is the appreciation of beauty - in any of the ways in which we can find it or create it for ourselves. So thank you so much for being a value add to my day. I have shared your channel with friends. Keep up the excellent work. Warmest regards from your fan in Seattle.

KZread suggested this video to me and, to my pleasant surprise, it couldn't be more nice. What a fine young man, what nobility, how much elegance in expressing himself and suggesting the tea menu!!! Congratulations on the beautiful channel and greetings from Norway.👏

You know the divine GOAT make-up artist John Maclean? Well, Nicholas is the etiquette and lifestyle version of that. Just divine.

Ah you're so right :) Both the same soothing and aesthetic presence. Should we request a collab..?

This is the most absolutely perfect gentleman I have ever seen anywhere....if all young men were as polished and well breed as this...how much better our world would be. . Etiquette and refinement are what the world needs now in spades

But a person who presents well doesn't mean they are necessarily good. He comes off as a gentleman...that is just a superficial impression.

You have first of all made so so SO homesick, but more than that, you’ve inspired me to enjoy an afternoon tea party with my best friend… thank you so very much!! Please, stay safe!!!

I've been planning a nice afternoon tea for my husband and I to celebrate the beginning of Spring this Saturday, this has been so helpful and inspirational ☺

Hello from Singapore. Thank you for putting time into making this video. I love the pace. It’s always such a rush for everything in real life that this is such a treat. Stay safe there.

Love your video and your home! It is absolutely beautiful. I will be making everything you showed. Thank you.

Thank you, enjoyed your nice manners and calm presentation. The food is elegant but not too complicated. I love the idea of a British Tea. I am American, but I think it is so cozy at the end of a busy day to meet with friends or family and enjoy an elegant tea with pleasant conversation. 🏡

I really need a bff like Nicolas to have five o’clock dignified tea with! 😍
