tea time

tea time
Noun
pl: tea times

This term carries a strong cultural association with British traditions, ranging from the formal afternoon tea of the upper classes to the more utilitarian evening meal of the working class. The connotation shifts based on regional dialect; in some areas, it refers to a brief pause for a beverage and a biscuit, while in others, it is synonymous with the primary evening meal (dinner).

Because it describes a specific period or a specific meal, it is typically used as a countable noun when referring to the occurrence of the event. However, it is often used in a non-count sense when referring to the general concept of the tradition.
