Tea with a Jane Austen Twist

In recognition of Europe Week, the library is pleased to present an elegant and immersive Tea with a Jane Austen Twist.
Guests will enjoy a selection of British pastries from The Brit-ish Baker, a curated tea‑tasting flight, a refined craft activity, and a brief yet engaging trivia session. Trivia will be conducted individually, and the winner will receive a Jane Austen themed giftset: a bound set of three Jane Austen novels, a beautiful teapot, and the Jane Austen trivia card game. Each guest will also leave with their own tea cup, saucer, and tea spoon!
Tea Menu
• Snowbuds White Tea - Snowbuds brews to a light ecru cup with a mild, light, palate-pleasing citrus aftertaste resulting from the brewing of these gray-olive-green buds, with their slightly curled, fuzzy white tips. These brewed buds are well formed and have a fresh "after-the-rain" aroma.
• Creme de La Berry Green Tea - Delicate and delectable, you'll fall in love with this green tea blend! The tea brews to a distinctive ecru cup with a light strawberry cream taste and just a hint of chocolate.
• Jane Austen Black Tea - The delicate prose of Jane Austen's novels is evoked in this blend that combines spearmint with a gentle touch of vanilla. Lavender flowers, which look lovely in both the cup and the gardens around Jane Austen's estate, add a sweet floral taste that complements the mint and vanilla wonderfully.
Baked Goods Menu
• Rose Cardamom Shortbread - Gentle rose petals and crushed cardamom pair come together like a match made in heaven in these perfect crumb shortbread cookies.
• Lemon Posset Cups - A classic British dessert, lemon posset is similar to a custard or a pudding. It’s sweet and citrusy, and a refreshing way to end a meal!
• Mini Sticky Toffee Puddings - Rich, moist, and bursting with warm, comforting flavors. Made with tender dates and finished with a luxurious butterscotch sauce, it delivers the irresistible warm and gooey texture!
