The Jane Austen Tea Diet
December 28, 2004
Well, not really, but eDiets.com has an article about the health benefits of tea that includes a couple of references to Jane Austen.
There’s something so charming about the concept of afternoon tea. Sitting down at a table, elegantly pouring from a flowered teapot, slowly sipping a steaming cup of tea — it all reminds me of Jane Austen and Miss Manners.
Except that they didn’t really have afternoon tea in Jane Austen’s day. Still, the Editrix always craves pots and pots of tea whilst she watches the latest film adaptation of PERSUASION, because they’re always drinking some!
