How Tea Time Came to England

There’s nothing quite as quintessentially British as a cuppa tea. But how did the Chinese tradition make its way into the British consciousness? It’s all thanks to Catherine of Braganza, a Portuguese royal who married England’s King Charles II in 1662. When she arrived in England, she brought with her loose leaves and spices in a set of crates labeled “Transporte de Ervas Aromatics,” or T.E.A. Soon, everyone wanted to be just like the Queen and sales of tea began to skyrocket. The rest, as they say, is history.

The story about Catherine popularizing tea in England is true. But the thing about T.E.A. is complete nonsense. The word tea is a corruption of the south chinese name for tea.

@Natadangsa 6 лет назад

Sor Alb yeah. It came from the Hokkien word Teh. And the word is still in use in southern China and the Malay world (Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam). We still call them Teh, and we love to drink it not from cups, but from large beer glasses.

@ColinKillick 6 лет назад

Yeah, it’s completely absurd and disappointingly lazy from GBS. Almost every language from a place that had tea calls it either something like “teh” or something like “chai.” And anyway, almost nothing named before the 19th century gets its name from an acronym-this is the same kind of ludicrous folk etymology that claims “Shit” and “Golf” come from “Ship High in Transit” and “Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden,” because people apparently can’t conceive of the idea that almost all English words come from other languages.

Tea is not an abbreviation. The English started out calling it cha, just like the Portuguese, who heard it in China from those who spoke Mandarin Chinese. The English changed the word later though to the word the Dutch were using; thee. The Dutch adopted their version in Malaysia, where it travelled from Chinese dialects in southeastern China; t’e. Both versions are essentially Chinese in origin.

Love this story. Some extra info from a native Chinese born in 1990s: this actually has been integrated into almost every textbook in middle school, talking about how we were forced to get addicted to opium - we paid for opium and British used that to buy tea from us again. A loop that was full of blood. Qing dynasty emperors (especially empress dowager cixi) were so shortsighted, didn’t care about ordinary people and “leased out” Hong Kong for 99 years (1989 - 1997). The motivation of the stories on our textbook is to teach us that without a strong country, that would happen to us in the future again. Peace is important, tea is great, we love peace, but the history behind is sad in 19th century.

Tea in Chinese is pronounced 'cha' and tea in Portuguese is pronounced 'chá', meaning that the Portuguese adopted the Chinese pronunciation. However, in other Western languages such as Spanish and French, the pronunciation of the word is a variation of 'tea'. Therefore, the theory that the Western pronunciation must come from "Transporte de Erva Aromatica" (which translates to "Transport of Aromatic Herbs") must be true. That is really amazing.

@mmmnye 6 лет назад

The origin (etymology) of the word "tea" is that it comes from the Amoy/Xiamen (廈門話) word for tea, "tê", (written as "茶"), which then got borrowed into Malay as teh, then into Dutch as thee. During the early 17th century, tea became popular in Britain and the Dutch brought tea with them to supply the demand. Therefore, through contact, the word was borrowed into English as "tea". Other English words such as "chai", "cha", and "char" ultimately come from Chinese (compare Mandarin "chá", Cantonese "caa4", written as "茶") "chai" comes from Hindustani (Hindu-Urdu) "चाय" (cāy) / "چای"‎ (ćāy) which was then borrowed into Farsi as "چای" chay, then turning into English "chai". [note the "ć" in the Urdu example and "c" in the Hindi example is pronounced as the "ch" sound in English] "cha" and "char" come from Cantonese "caa4", as British merchants mostly worked in that area. [note the "c" in the Cantonese example is roughly pronounced as a "ch" in English as well]

Actually the english word 'tea' comes from the dutch word 'thee' which has its origin from the malay word 'teh' (it wouldnt be from portuguese because the portuguese word for tea is 'chá' which comes from the Mandarin word chá)

@budicaesar1213 6 лет назад

Oh yeah, and the malay word for tea actually comes from Hokkien Language/dialect 'tê', which has a more ancient origin rather than Mandarin

I thought milk was always added to the china cup before you poured the tea (to either protect the cup from cracking for the hot tea or to allow the milk to heat up gradually as the tea wa poured), esp at a formal British High Tea?

Unless we are having an afternoon tea, where we sit down drinking tea from nice china and eat small sandwiches, scones and little cakes. But that’s something you might only do on a special occasion or a few times a year. I love it though.

@Javier-gl3xo 6 лет назад

They Brits bought so much tea that there was more money going out than coming in so the Brits introduced the opium to the Chinese. They became so obsesed with it, that they banned the Opium but the Brits continued selling it to the Chinese. A war started and since it was during the industrial revolution, the Brits had better weapons and destroyed the Chinese.

Everyone who loves tea knows that most inferior tea are from tea bags. The best English teas are loose leaf. Btw, a good use for tea bags are for athletes foot fungus treatment.

@ishansha7197 6 лет назад

China introduced tea but world's best tea supplier is Sri Lanka... People call it CEYLON TEA... ☕☕

@dogedoge4062 6 лет назад

the best tea is still in china, but sadly, the best tea mostly won't sell outside china and sometime they won't even be sold outside the place they producted to other part of china. the only way to get them is travel to the special place in china to buy it, but sometime the owner may still avoid to sell it even the price is super high..

@ishansha7197 6 лет назад

doge doge no dear Ceylon tea is the best.. No doubt about that... Some tea varieties of Sri Lanka only milioners can buy...

@dogedoge4062 6 лет назад

there are tons of tea in china that even milioner can hardly buy,though. ceylon tea is good, but not really that great.

Catherine was not a popular queen in England because she was Catholic, which prevented her from being crowned. It was a special object of attack by the inventors of the Papist Plot. Without posterity, he left England the orange jam, the habit of drinking tea, in addition to introducing the use of cutlery and tobacco there
