6英文单词tea 是怎莫 出现的？

What is the derivation of English word “tea”?

  The word “tea” is one of the few English words of Chinese origin . it is derived for the plan’s name  as it is pronounced  in South China . in standard Chinese , it is pronounced “cha”. In south China , it is pronounced “cha” or “tea” , the vowel sound being  “e” .

   There are two sayings concerning the early spread of tea outside China .

   In the 17^th century , tea was introduced into Indonesia where local people in Java picked up the sound of “te” or “tay” from south China . later , Dutch arrived there and soon learned how to drink tea . they brought tea back to Europe , where “te” began to be known both on the continent and in Britain .

   The other saying is that the Portuguese opened up sea routes to China . some says that the opening –up was as early as 1515 .Jesuit priests , including Father Jasper de Cruz , were on the Portuguese ships , and they brought the tea drinking habit and tea word “te” or “tay” to Portugal .By 1610 , tea was shipped , on a regular basis , to ports in France , Holland and the Baltic coast .
