Tea has been drunk in England for hundreds of years. It even retained its ancient Chinese Mandarin name in the UK right up until the mid 20th century.
Any WWII British war film is likely to have a reference to 'a cup of Cha' (pronounced Char), which comes from the Mandarin Chinese term for tea 'Chá'.
