Product Description:
 'You must drink tea with us tonight.'  —Sense & Sensibility

Who would not want to sit down with Jane Austen and join her in a cup of tea? Here for the first time is a book that shares the secrets of one of her favorite rituals. Tea figures prominently in Jane Austen's life and work. In fact, the beloved novelist was the keeper and maker of tea in her family. Tea with Jane Austen begins with tea drinking in the morning and ends with tea in the evening, at balls and other gatherings.

Each chapter includes a description of how tea was taken at a particular place or time of day, along with history, recipes, excerpts from Austen's novels and letters and illustrations from the time. The book also reveals how to make a perfect cup of tea!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great read!
This book was a great read on the history of tea in Jane Austen's time, as well as fun to see what tea meant for her and people in her day. There are some yummy recipes mixed in and lots of refrences to her novels which adds some fun and insite!

Loved it!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An informative and entertaining book for Austen lovers
This lovely book was a pleasure to read, with an engaging style and full of interesting tidbits. The author probes the social history of tea in Regency England, and along the way, she illuminates new aspects of familiar passages from Jane Austen's novels by explaining the social context that readers of that time would have automatically understood. What does it mean that Mr. Darcy chooses coffee over tea when he dines at Longbourn? After reading this book, I have a new understanding of that scene.
