thank you for this interesting post I am a big fan of tea myself and was not aware of all these details yet.
What I could find out so far about the origin of the different terms for tea in a way supports the things stated above. The word chai or cha that is used in many languages and refers to that exact drink is also the mandarin word for tea: ch or
What I find interesting is that the word tea, tee (german) or th (french) can also be found in a southern chinese dialect as tia great new chance...and JUST maybe the path that will lead out of sl's decline - in any case the right direction.

Currently reading this less known work by Nitezsche, my favourite german philospher - interesting ideas about the origin of morality: On the genealogy of morality
"Und das ist Kunst!?" (And that is art?!) by a very brilliant feuillton journalist of the ZEIT magazine. It is a funny guide to the modern art scene - its failures, sicknesses and complexes.
yes i usually read several books simultaneously...I always have the feeling I am losing track!!
