Here are the top five terms related to tea:

• tea party - Yes, they're talking about the tea party political movement, not a party featuring the drink.


• tea tree oil - Tea tree oil is not from the tea plant, it is from another plant, Melaleuca alternifolia.


• tea leoni - An American actress, whom I know next-to-nothing about.


• teacup pig - "Teacup pig" is a term for a breed of miniature pig; these pigs, small enough to fit inside a large teacup, were originally developed for medical research, but have become popular as pets. "Teacup pigs" apparently generate a lot of shady business, as it can be hard to distinguish a true miniature pig (which will stay small) from normal piglets which will eventually grow into a full-size pig.


• tea act - The Tea Act was a famous piece of British legislation, passed in 1773, and leading to the Boston Tea Party.
