Tea with Jane Austen
Tea with Jane Austen | Kim Wilson
19 posts | 4 read | 17 to read
While to us tea is an everyday commodity, in Austen's time it was relatively expensive, and to be able to offer it to visitors implied some degree of social status. This book examines the social customs of the time, and includes recipes.

lirahlu @Crinoline_Laphroaig I love when the recipes say rub the pound of butter into the pound of flour for 1.5 hours! I didn't even think about how grueling baking was before modern appliances 🥐🍰🥧🥺💀☠️ 2y

For some reason I cannot find my copy of this quickly, but it is a perfect fit for #tea and #200PnPCovers . Containing recipes and historic facts, this book provides a brief glance into Austen‘s life and society. It‘s like having a cuppa with a friend!

LeahBergen This is my post today, too. 😆 2y
CrowCAH @LeahBergen great minds think alike! 2y
CrowCAH Yes, the perfect book for today‘s word theme! 2y

Photo 3: Snacks & a variety of tea to enjoy during reading time. Love the chocolates & chocolate drink mix.Those cookies are delicious😋I ate 3 already & a piece of chocolate. The pouch, washi tape, stickers😱and more art prints😍That card is a unique detail, beautiful touch👌Thank you for gave me the opportunity to know about yourself in the card that was a sweet & very appreciated detail❤️ Thank you @DebinHawaii 🥰
@Sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit

DebinHawaii Oh good I tried to throw in some local things like the cookies & chocolate bars & a little local tea. The other tea is a Japanese brand I like that has a store here. Also I apologize about the little lights. I didn‘t send batteries (wasn‘t sure if it was a good idea to mail them) but I think they are fun little sets for holiday photos & for display. Again, the stalking & I love journals & paper goods. Anyway I had such fun putting it together!🤗 3y
Chrissyreadit There is so much to love in this! I feel like everyone should experience @DebinHawaii and @Gissy as swap mates- you both set the bar pretty high! 😍😍😍 3y
DebinHawaii @Chrissyreadit Aww... thank you! I am watching the clock just waiting to be able to go home & experience mine! 🤗 3y
LeahBergen Oooooh, lovely! 😍😍 3y

Admittedly, I‘m unfamiliar with the term #chippytea . But, as per usual, there‘s a Jane Austen related book for a prompt! Wilson offers tea related recipes, quotes, and history insights into all things tea in Austen‘s novels and in her world. It‘s a treat! #redroseseptember

Cinfhen I KNOW this is a MUST for @LeahBergen and @CrowCAH 5y
CrowCAH @Cinfhen aye, tis already part of the Jane Austen themed books on the shelf! 5y

Had some “Inspired by Jane Austen” tea in my Jane Austen mug! ❤️ #MakerSwap

sprainedbrain You are living the best Jane life. 😂 6y
aschermetz How is the tea? I debated getting this flavor for myself too, hahaha. 6y
CrowCAH @sprainedbrain yup! ☺️📚 6y
CrowCAH @aschermetz not exactly my “cup of tea” (yes pun intended), but it‘s okay. It will help sooth my nerves with the lavender in there. Thanks! 6y
Nute I enjoy a WHOLE experience just like you. ‘This tea because of this mug!‘ Sometimes it‘s just the ambience of the moment. Enjoy! 6y

Afternoon Tea with hubby at The Drake, Chicago. #SomethingPretty #Riotgrams @bookriot

Lola I do tea there every year over the Christmas holiday, but I love it even more off-season when it isn't so crowded. And what a great day to be in the city! Enjoy! #springtimeinFebruary 7y
Godmotherx5 @Lola I enjoy it at Christmas, too. This was my first time going to tea in the off-season. This was my husband's first time ever. He was a good sport. 7y
