if a cup of coffee is a cup of Joe, what name do we give tea?

Follow

@outie @PsyChuan the most widely accepted etymology is that it's short for "jamoke", contracted from Java + Mocha (two places famous for high quality coffee). if that's the case, then you could backform something similar for tea based on some place in the world famous for good tea
