Considering the Victorian who were heavy tea drinkers, no.

Note that London was a hotbed for a lot of revolutionary people, including Karl Marx (who eventually settled down there).

That's my point - did Tea become the nouveau drink eliminating coffee? The UK had access to coffee in the 1600s but Tea didn't come until 200 years later with the colonies in east asia, right?

Tea certainly eliminated coffee from the mid 19th century, but tea did not eliminate "coffee culture".
