One science fiction and tea reference that pops immediately into mind (although not literary) is the episode of Dr. Who where the dying doctor is revived by a thermos of tea that knocks over and spills into his mouth.

If I’m not mistaken, in “The Midwich Cuckoos” by John Wyndham, there is passing mention of the village of Midwich waking up confused from a mysterious “sleep” and getting on with their morning, including brewing up some tea.

I’m sure there are many, and now you’ve got me intrigued to find out more!
