Another lovely birthday afternoon tea that was part of the Jane Austen Festival in Louisville. Our JASNA-Indy group chose the 1:15 p.m. tea time and there were about 10 of us there. Tea was lovely as ever…always simple, but well worth the $25 price per person. Nick and I were very hungry going into what we would call a late lunch, but the tea hit the spot!
We were served Bingley’s Teas – Jane Austen character teas – two new ones for me. The first was a very fruity flavored herbal tea – “A Catherine Morland’s First Blush” But I preferred the rose and black tea with a hint of vanilla: “A Tea Rose Gown for Mrs. Allen.”
Menu:
Chicken salad on mini-croissant
Pimiento cheese on marble rye
Mini-quiches
Grapes
Blueberry lemon scones with clotted cream and jam
Choice of 4 desserts – Nick chose lavender rum cake and I had the hummingbird cake with whipped cream.
