Regarding Leslie's interesting link, which gives Lithuanian and Relorussian translations for tea, which forms are similar to the Polish herbata: Most of Belorus (or White Russia, as some still say [bel- is the root for Russian bely, meaning white]), and Poland and Lithuania were together, with some other places, for many years in the Lithuanian or Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. But none of this takes us anywhere of value.

Subject: Re: Tea or Chai There are probably exceptions but, I wonder, does the "ta" at the end have any correlation linguistically to tea?

Interesting. I don't know how many exceptions there are, but I know one. Tea in Polish is herbata.
