Emma’s tea obsession comes from her third obsession, Downton Abbey. A TV show that the amplifier relates to because of, among other things, the stricter structure of society it portrays, specifically the rules of relationships. Emma likes rules. She doesn’t necessarily follow them, but she likes to understand that they exist, including the ritual of ‘afternoon’ tea.

FYI – all the tea links lead to the Granville Island Tea Company because that is where I buy my tea. But this post is not sponsored in any way, nor are the books. I’m simply having fun with Emma’s obsessive tendencies aka ‘doing research’.
