Only two words for tea in the world - tea/teh/te and cha/chai. Both originate from China. If you use the word tea, Camellia sinensis leaves came by sea via the Maritime Silk Road. If you refer to it as cha, the leaves came by land, via the overland Silk Road.

Christmas wish:

Please, for the love of all deities (or the universe), DO NOT pass misinformation and disinformation as truth.

Stop reposting stuff that is clearly designed to stir shit.

Signed,
your very tired ex-Humanities teacher

Season's Greetings and Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating 🎉🎊🎋🥳📯🎄⛄🦌🎄⛄🦌🎄⛄🦌
