ティー

てぃー
noun
tea (in compounds and café menus)
food
1. tea
Tea, from English. Used almost entirely inside compounds on café and convenience-store menus; on its own, tea is 紅茶(こうちゃ) (black tea) or お(ちゃ) (Japanese tea).
アイスティーください
Iced tea, please.
In summer I drink nothing but lemon tea.
This shop's milk tea is strongly brewed, and you can choose the sweetness level too.

Almost never used alone — learners should treat it as a compound element.
