The grass radical is on the top because tea leaves are crushed to make tea. Additionally, there’s “小” which means small because tea is usually served in a small cup.

The radical on top can be found in 英国 as well. Britain is known for drinking tea. Below the radical, the two parts look like people; so it’s multiple British people drinking tea.

The top part looks like a grass, the middle part looks like a house roof and the bottom part looks like a T. Hence it can be like a tea house with grass on top.
