    "On 23 September 1658, the London republican newspaper Mercurius Politicus carried the first advert for tea in the British isles, announcing that a China beverage called by the Chinese, Tcha, by new Nations Tay alias Tee was attainable in a coffee blazing in the city. But it was tea adherent Catherine of Braganza  wife of Charles II  who turned it into a trendy drink."

It should be at least Twinnings [sic] Earl Grey or Fortnum and Masons Queen Anne Tea, he wrote around Facebook."
