Intrude away, I'm always up for a (slightly nerdy on my part, I'm afraid) discussion : D
Despite some of them having travelled that far, even if they did manage to get their hands on tea, I seriously doubt they would bring it back as anything other than 'Ooh, look, new shiny thing people who live far away use!' Especially given the cold climate we have here (here very much being Viking country); it's not unknown for food to freeze surprisingly quickly despite being piping hot half a moment ago. That being said, for the purpose of it being Jeeves and a good story, I could certainly suspend my disbelief quite a bit : D As long as tea wasn't portrayed as a common thing among the warriors, because we know it wasn't. Yes I'm really this much of a history nerd.
Now I want a humourous fic in which Jeeves the Viking brings tea back and everybody thinks he's weird, other than Bertie, who as we all know loves a cup. This was not how I was supposed to spend my day! X D
