茶 tea

It is traditional to serve flower-scented tea to the HOE under the peaked roof. (it's this hostess club for recovering alcoholics, is what it is)

tea ★★★★★

brown ★★★★☆ KUN ON
茶 (tea) + 色 (color) = 茶色 (brown)

coffe-shop ★★★☆☆
喫 (enjoy a drink and a smoke) + 茶 (tea) + 店 (shop) = 喫茶店 (coffe-shop)

a coffee-shop. These are really popular because Japanese don't invite people over to their homes very often - they meet at the coffee-shop. This is fairly polite example to point to when a Japanese asks you, "Do foreigners really think we're a cold people?" BOOBOO: most Japanese don't say きっさてん。 they just say 喫茶、(きっさ)。

green tea ★☆☆☆☆
緑 (green) + 茶 (tea) = 緑茶 (green tea)

green tea (AKA the only time you'll ever use the on-yomi for 'green')

black tea ☆☆☆☆☆
紅 (dark lipstick red color) + 茶 (tea) = 紅茶 (black tea )
