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.

So I did a quick search on tea clipper, and this site 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.
