Tea with Jane Austen

I have just spent a delightful hour pouring over Tea with Jane Austen! I have learned, so far, that Jane was the one who made breakfast for her family and it usually included tea and breads with good-quality butter. It sounds yummy!

During that time, apparently, people got up before breakfast to get things done, and then gathered together around 9am or 10am to eat breakfast. It was a very casual gathering. People might bring letters and read while eating.

I just got the book today, thanks to Amazon! And couldn't wait to read it. I also got my kit from Tealightful Treasures, so I have lots of new teas to try. I would like to incorporate this romantic-sounding breakfast into my planned tea lifestyle. That would certainly make it easier to get in three cups a day!

That's the amount recommended for preventing cancer and heart disease and high blood pressure and all those other evils!!

Still planning my year with Jane...
