Default Tea anecdotes

Hi!
I was just wondering - do you happen to know any tea anecdotes? I mean,
concerning e.g. the history of tea, its initial drinking habit in
England/Europe, some funny misunderstandings, problems etc.? I tried
asking Google but he didn't want to cooperate too much...

Best regards,
Milo
