Ni Hao Zul.

You might want to check out the cartoon script for this session as it explains the “hong cha” is black tea.

However you are correct as the literal translation is Red Tea.

it’s kind of unfair we cannot see the full version…the whole point of this website was the fact that it was free, and fun. Now, it seems more restricted. To someone that cannot afford that, it’s really unfair.

I was at a Chinese restaurant today. I wanted to ask for another plate of white rice. “Ma fan, Wo yao zai lai yi ge pan zi de bai fan.” Is that correct?

Exactly, literally. It means “red tea”

Because in Chinese we think the color of the tea is red
