Talk:Lei cha

Leicha seems to be more a specialty of Hakka and Hunan peoiple and thus savoured in places with the corrresponding diaspora. So it is not right to say it is Taiwanese.

Literal Translation
I see the article currently calls this "thunder tea", which is present in at least a few places around the web (e.g., https://amp.scmp.com/lifestyle/food-drink/article/3010263/hakka-cuisine-singapore-where-find-leicha-thunder-tea-rice-and). However, as a Chinese speaker it seems clear this is a mistranslation, as the character is 擂 (pound; pestle) and not 雷 (note the missing 扌radical in that character). At least o be other source points out the mistranslation, calling this "grounded tea" (https://justafatboi.com/lei-cha-food-origins/) or "ground tea" (https://johorkaki.blogspot.com/2015/04/lei-cha-at-taman-johor-jk1102.html?m=1).

I propose we change back to "ground tea" Wjtimmerman (talk) 05:37, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
