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.

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.
