Default ChaYe means Tea not Cha

'tis true
a different character "ye" means company...

In addition to Phyll's point about Cha Ye referring to the leaves as
opposed to the beverage, there's also another word Ye having nothing
to do with leaves. When it's used in the name of a tea company, Cha
Ye more or less means "tea company", not "tea leaves".
