So I did a quick search on tea clipper, and [this site](https://www.tea.co.uk/tea-clippers) came up. Its seems they were just clippers but were used to carry tea from China and India to UK and America.

I don't know if the Chinese have a specific term for tea clippers but they probably refer to them as fast sail boats or something like that.

That's cool that the name translates directly to fast boat. There were also Chinese clippers at the time as well called tea clippers. I wonder what the Chinese called them though. If it was the direct translation fast boat or they had another name for them.
