Bilbo Baggins by Anke Eißmann
- "It isn't time yet. It can't be tea-time even, leastways not in decent places where there is tea-time."
- ― Samwise Gamgee in The Two Towers, "Journey to the Cross-Roads"
Tea was a beverage that the Hobbits (specifically Shire-hobbits) enjoyed alone or socially.
A time of resting and relaxing, the tea-time[1] was considered a meal on its own, between lunch and dinner.[2] It was customary to offer guests for a cup of tea.[3]
Bilbo Baggins invited Gandalf for a cup of tea when he unexpectedly arrived to Bag End. After his invitation, Gandalf showed up with Thorin and Company.[4]
In a poem, the Lonely Troll served Perry-the-Winkle some "fulsome tea" and the two friends regularly met in weekly tea sessions.[5]
