From Samuel Pepys on this day in 1660: “And afterwards did send for a Cupp of Tee (a China drink of which I never had drunk before)”

Thank you for sharing. I spotted this post browsing during my lunch break and it really made me smile : )

Glad to help! I'd seen someone else mention it more briefly on Bluesky. So dug out my copy of Pepys beside my usual chair, and found it was even more verbose than I expected.
