Excerpt from Tea, Its History and Mystery The earliest mention made of Tea by an Englishman is that contained in a letter from a Mr. Wickham, agent Of the East India Company at Pirando, Japan, and dated June 27, 1615, to a Mr. Eaton, another Officer Of the Company, resident at Macao, China, asking for a pot Of the best Cha.
