Where did tea originate from?

[Will.]

As in some people saying tea instead of dinner or supper, seems odd as one of the most popular drinks in this country is tea so why would we call the evening meal that?

[Niamh.]

I never call dinner tea :idc:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yer teas ooot means something quite different where Josy/Firewire lives

[armand.kay]

I've actually read something about this somewhere. Its something to do with the higher class having afternoon tea at like 4ish and the working class coming back from work around then and needing a large meal.
