A cuppa is a cup of tea. British people say it in relaxed talk: 'Fancy a cuppa?' means 'Would you like a cup of tea?' The tea is already in the meaning, so you do not say the word tea — though actually some people use cuppa for coffee too. It is a squeezed-together way of saying 'cup of'. You will not see it in formal writing, and American English almost never uses it. In Australia you will hear it as well. It is warm, everyday, and a bit homey.
一杯茶（英式口語）
組成A contraction of cup of, with tea (or sometimes coffee) already meant. Same kind of spoken squeeze as British pinta ('pint of milk').
