Tea Time Quotes

“In the Fukien province of China, the Dutch learned the word tay, which means “tea” in the local dialect, and with this sound it was introduced to Europe. In fact, in Ireland and England it was pronounced tay until the start of the eighteenth century, after which the word was derived to tee and then tea—as we know it today.”
