Editor's Notes and Comments:

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 very 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!




Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 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.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Austen and Tea, What Could Be Better?
I collect books on tea and this was a must with my fondness for Jane Austen and tea.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Beautiful Book
I bought this as a gift but I wanted to buy it for myself. It is so charming and full of recipes. I'm getting it soon...



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Everything you ever wanted to know about tea!
This is a good history on tea. It explains lots of things I never knew before. I questioned the validity of a couple of stories in here, but that doesn't mean they're not true...just hard to imagine. It's small enough that it won't get tedious, but long enough that you actually learn some things.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Splendid!
This is - and there is no doubting this - the vag-iest book I've ever seen.
