Tea! And Jim running to get the tea! 😍 This was perfect. I'm also very glad that he got back before Pam could go down too far down the rabbit hole, ha. Dwight and Izzy are hilarious here (the image of him waving his arms like he's trying to spook a turkey is brilliant), and I love the little reveal that his ancestors maybe might have been on the wrong side of the war...
Author's Response: Dwight should always embarrass himself while mentioning his ancestors without realizing he is: this was how I chose to do that ;)

Nice Dwight. You nailed his Dwightness.
Yeah tea. Darjeeling - must be Darjeeling!
Author's Response: If only Darjeeling were in the CVS variety pack! And thanks so much :)

Firstly, awwww!
Secondly, — and I used Google to study the assortment! — Earl Grey.
But that's up to Pam, of course :)
Author's Response: Thank you! And good Googling :) She will drink the Earl Grey--among others ;)

So many moons ago a certain someone I know was wondering if Dwight was going to appear as a German in a WWII fic. Sadly German Dwight did not come to pass. I mean the world needed to see Bomber Dwight demonstrate unarmed combat on himself after all. But I digress. If German Dwight was not to be here on the archive this Dwight being oddly proud of his grandpappy who served in the wehrmacht (hopefully the wehrmacht that is and not other double letter units in service at the time for the Germans) seems to fit the bill. Besides all that Dwight was wonderfully Dwight here. Right in to possibly defend someone being attacked and then offering unsolicited critique on the move.
Loved the line that before Pam could end up in Wonderland, Jim is back. It may not be their own house blend or anything like that, but I get the feeling this gesture will mean a whole lot more.
As for what kind of tea she would like? Well after a look around on the Bigelow website I have an idea. Should Pam offer Jim the choice, he is a barista and thus this is his area of expertise, I would say Jim might want to recommend the Elderberry tea. As you've so wonderfully laid out, Jim pays attention to Pam. He knows what she likes and what she doesn't. Her favorite things for example. Going by the packaging I'd say he'd suggest that. Even better as there doesn't appear to be an expiration date. Also is Pam going to confirm his guess as to her major in college? What with all the almost trips to Wonderland and computer re-starts we still don't have her answer to said question.
Always a treat and looking forward to more as ever.
Author's Response: Oh man, I still wish there had been some way for there to be two Dwights in your fic...but I am glad you like this oddly proud Dwight. And Elderberry would be great, if only CVS carried it ;). Thanks as ever for the thoughtful review.

Finally, tea!!! She should have something like Orange Pekoe or Jazmin. Can’t wait to read more!!
Author's Response: Thank you! I agree that those would be better--but Bigelow doesn't put them in their variety packs because they suck ;)

Awwwwwwwww. Jim!!!!! You old softy. (Although this feels like a solution you could have come to quite some time ago.) Too cute.
Still enjoying the Dwisabel here... poor girl. She's smitten. And the Harry Potter reference was noted.
"How many kilopascals of pressure do you think you were applying?” He poked Pam’s arm. “Well, maybe just pascals.” is fantastic Dwight dialogue.
Author's Response: Thank you! It's not like coffeeshops usually go down the street to another store to buy their stuff...but yes, he probably could have slipped some into an order now that I mention it...
