Strange as it might sound, the major difference is that “high” tea is not the more refined of the two. High tea was mostly devoured by commoners at around 6 o’clock and was one biscuit short of a full meal, if you know what I mean. Afternoon tea, however, was taken between lunch and a late dinner at 8 or 9 by the upper crust.

So when you think of tea parties that require tiny sandwiches, lace doilies, and hats… it’s an afternoon tea you’re dreaming of.
