Tea Known In England since 1913.

The earliest mention of tea drink
ing in England occurs in a letter from
Mr.. Wickham from Japan, dated June
27, 1915. In 1856 the English began
to drink tea in society circles, the sup
ply being imported from Java at the
cost of $50 to $50 a pound. 1t is
quite needless to say that the common
people did not drink much tea during
those days.
