"'Why, Mina, have I been alseep? Oh, do forgive me for being so rude. Come, and we'll have a cup of tea somewhere.'" - Jonathan Harker (pg. 190)


While I do believe that Jonathan had intended to bring Mina OUT for tea, I found it appropriate for me to take my tea IN given that we have currently, a supply of tea that should last a grown man an entire winter.

Minnesota winter mind you.

I did; however, make the effort of trying to get my wife to have tea with me even though she was very tired. She doesn't like her photos to be posted on the internet, but agreed with this compromise:
I'm sure that Jonathan and Mina had some kind of fantastic tea that was only available in 19th century England....but the book failed to specify what kind of tea they had, if they even made it to the tea house. I find it likely that Jonathan's disturbed mind probably led him to forget he had even proposed the two stop to take tea in the first place. Regardless we both had Stash Licorice Spice tea.
