From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Tea \Tea\, n. [Chin. tsh[be], Prov. Chin. te: cf. F. th[82].]
      1. The prepared leaves of a shrub, or small tree ({Thea, [or]
            Camellia, Chinensis}). The shrub is a native of China, but
            has been introduced to some extent into some other
            countries.
  
      Note: Teas are classed as green or black, according to their
               color or appearance, the kinds being distinguished also
               by various other characteristic differences, as of
               taste, odor, and the like. The color, flavor, and
               quality are dependent upon the treatment which the
               leaves receive after being gathered. The leaves for
               green tea are heated, or roasted slightly, in shallow
               pans over a wood fire, almost immediately after being
               gathered, after which they are rolled with the hands
               upon a table, to free them from a portion of their
               moisture, and to twist them, and are then quickly
               dried. Those intended for black tea are spread out in
               the air for some time after being gathered, and then
               tossed about with the hands until they become soft and
               flaccid, when they are roasted for a few minutes, and
               rolled, and having then been exposed to the air for a
               few hours in a soft and moist state, are finally dried
               slowly over a charcoal fire. The operation of roasting
               and rolling is sometimes repeated several times, until
               the leaves have become of the proper color. The
               principal sorts of green tea are Twankay, the poorest
               kind; Hyson skin, the refuse of Hyson; Hyson, Imperial,
               and Gunpowder, fine varieties; and Young Hyson, a
               choice kind made from young leaves gathered early in
               the spring. Those of black tea are Bohea, the poorest
               kind; Congou; Oolong; Souchong, one of the finest
               varieties; and Pekoe, a fine-flavored kind, made
               chiefly from young spring buds. See {Bohea}, {Congou},
               {Gunpowder tea}, under {Gunpowder}, {Hyson}, {Oolong},
               and {Souchong}. --K. Johnson. Tomlinson.
  
      Note: [bd]No knowledge of . . . [tea] appears to have reached
               Europe till after the establishment of intercourse
               between Portugal and China in 1517. The Portuguese,
               however, did little towards the introduction of the
               herb into Europe, and it was not till the Dutch
               established themselves at Bantam early in 17th century,
               that these adventurers learned from the Chinese the
               habit of tea drinking, and brought it to Europe.[b8]

   Stacte
      (Heb. nataph), one of the components of the perfume which was
      offered on the golden altar (Ex. 30:34; R.V. marg.,
      "opobalsamum"). The Hebrew word is from a root meaning "to
      distil," and it has been by some interpreted as distilled myrrh.
      Others regard it as the gum of the storax tree, or rather shrub,
      the Styrax officinale. "The Syrians value this gum highly, and
      use it medicinally as an emulcent in pectoral complaints, and
      also in perfumery."
