'Pink tea,' originally meaning a highly fashionable (and exclusive) tea party, is an American invention dating back to the late 19th century. The use of 'pink' to mean 'fashionable' or 'exclusive' harks back to the very old sense of 'pink' meaning 'the peak or finest example' of something, a use dating back to the 16th century, probably ultimately derived from the pinkish complexion of a Caucasian person in good health ('in the pink'). By the 17th century, 'pink' was being used both as a noun meaning 'one of the elite' and an adjective meaning 'exquisite' or 'exclusive.'
