That is precisely my point... I wouldn't buying a scone... I would be buying "Afternoon Tea"

Perhaps there is a cultural thing going on here... I suspect that if someone that did not grow up in the UK, where "Afternoon Tea" would always include a drink of tea whether it is explicitly mentioned or not, then perhaps they would not expect a drink to be included. I believe that people that have grown up with the British culture would expect a drink of tea with Afternoon Tea.
