Nguồn gốc từ

First appears c. 1655, in the English translation Álvaro Semedo’s writings. From Dutch thee, from 茶 (Amoy dialect), from -, ultimately from *s-la (leaf, tea). Introduced to English and other Western European languages by the Dutch East India Company, who sourced their tea in Amoy; compare teh along the same trade route.
