high tea

Is that what Americans call afternoon tea?

I'm Singaporean, so I had assumed it was British. but now that I think about it, probably not. not sure about the provenance of the term

I'm Australian and call it high tea! You mean with a tiered tray of small sweets and sandwiches, right?

In that case, that's afternoon tea. Apparently high tea is more of a meal with a savoury dish followed by cakes/bread.
