Where Did the Name “Tea” and “Cha” Come From?

Right now in the world if you categorize the way we call tea, its probably either “cha” or “tea”.
If you think about it, tea in Japanese is “cha” and tea in Hindi is “chaya”. Doesn’t it sound similar?
Also in Malay, tea is called “teh,” which also sounds similar to the English “tea.” Found out why by watching our blog video. Hope you enjoy.
