*** It's a box of the rare and expensive tea she was drinking earlier, and pointedly refused to tell him the name of. It's a power play, showing not only that he can get to her in her home, but that she can't hide even the most minor piece of information from him, all in a way that would be hard to explain to the police as an intimidation tactic.
