I'd associate it with Turkey. Since our people drink the most tea. Tea is always brewed on stove, or some thermos is always full, whether it is home, dorm, school, office. Also blacksea region grows a lot of tea.

To your last question, colonisation. Wish it was only tea they got from them. Made Indians fight for their wars :(

Sigh~ British colonised india for 200 years forced us grow opium and fed it to china and got tea leaves and the process of brewing from them in lower price :v

In india we don't even call it "Tea" It's always the original came "cha"

Oh we also call it çay (sounds like chai). So Starbucks chai tea latte must be the most ridiculous word combination for you XD here it is. It's like calling it "tea tea but as in coffee with milk form"
But yeah British kinda messed the world in the last few centuries. Even writing the history books of Middle East education.

Oh I heard about the "chai tea latte" like wtf does that mean chai=tea

Well... Because England is notorious for their "tea time"?
In my country there's a lot of memes about this... and a lot of movies as well...
Guess it became cultural?

Tea in most languages is called something that sounds like either tea or cha, and it has to do with that being pronounced in the two original main exporters of tea. Fun facts :)

Oops that sentence didn't make sense. The main places that people originally got their tea from pronounced its name like tea and cha, respectively.

I appreciate this wholesome talk of tea in the comment section of a wholesome BL manga. I love this(▰˘◡˘▰)

Turks are comfirmed to be the one who drink the most tea
Like they legit drink it for every meal
So i honnestly dont see why tea is always associated with anywahere beside turkey which is the tea god land
