A cream tea (also known as a Devon cream tea, Devonshire tea,[1] or Cornish cream tea)[2] is an afternoon tea consisting of tea, scones, clotted cream (or, less authentically, whipped cream), jam, and sometimes butter. Cream teas are sold in tea rooms throughout England, especially Devon and Cornwall, and in some other parts of the Commonwealth.
