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]                --Encyc.

Cf. {Solar},       {South}.]       1. The luminous orb, the light of which constitutes day, and             its absence night; the central body round which the earth             and planets revolve, by which they are held in their             orbits, and from which they receive light and heat. Its             mean distance from the earth is about 92,500,000 miles,             and its diameter about 860,000.          Note: Its mean apparent diameter as seen from the earth is                32[b7] 4[sec], and it revolves on its own axis once in                25[frac13] days. Its mean density is about one fourth                of that of the earth, or 1.41, that of water being                unity. Its luminous surface is called the photosphere,                above which is an envelope consisting partly of                hydrogen, called the chromosphere, which can be seen                only through the spectroscope, or at the time of a                total solar eclipse. Above the chromosphere, and                sometimes extending out millions of miles, are luminous                rays or streams of light which are visible only at the                time of a total eclipse, forming the solar corona.          2. Any heavenly body which forms the center of a system of             orbs.          3.

By the motion of the connecting rod, the             planet wheel is made to circulate round the central wheel             on the shaft, communicating to this latter a velocity of             revolution the double of its own. --G.

The term sun spots is often used             to include bright spaces (called facul[91]) as well as             dark spaces (called macul[91]). Called also {solar spots}.             See Illustration in Appendix.          {Sun star} (Zo[94]l.), any one of several species of             starfishes belonging to {Solaster}, {Crossaster}, and             allied genera, having numerous rays.          {Sun trout} (Zo[94]l.), the squeteague.          {Sun wheel}.
