Slowing down with afternoon tea 喝茶趣

I have been a big fan of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens for many years. Often tea was mentioned in their novels especially in Austen's life and work. I find myself drinking more tea than coffee as I sift through the characters of Dickens and the daily minutia of Austen. As you can see that I am not a fan of collecting expensive tea pots or tea cups, but I do have some in my kitchen. Let's put the kettle on, it's tea time!!
