Green Tea is a psychological horror story written in 1872 by Sheridan le Fanu. It was published as part of the book In a Glass Darkly along with 4 other stories which -according to Wikipedia- "are presented as selections from the posthumous papers of the occult detective Dr Martin Hesselius." Green Tea can be read online.
