“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and everyday confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of either merit or sense.”

Yes, it’s a very pretty tea visually. The blue mallow, safflower, and other petals really drew my attention. 🙂

I’m a confirmed Austenite, so the name had me from the start. So clever. And I’d never heard of this tea/tea place, so I’ll have to check it out.

Thanks, Rebekah! Bingley’s has some wonderful teas. I still have a few more samples of theirs to try, but so far my favorite Austen-inspired teas are Marianne’s Wild Abandon and Elinor’s Heart. (Both of the Dashwood sisters, oddly enough!)
