Fetch My Tea Woman

So, for my educational and mind stimulating project I have been trying to learn Spanish using the Duolingo app.  I'm not very far along, day four, but today my Master told me, as I was supposed to be getting his tea, "You should look up how to say, 'Fetch my tea, woman', so I can tell you what to do in Spanish."

 I said "That's easy, Google Translate will do that for me" and I looked it up, typing in "Fetch my tea woman".  

 I got back this "Trae a mi mujer de té", which looked a little odd to me. 
Then I realized it literally said, "Fetch me my woman of tea".

 Adding a comma- "Fetch my tea, woman", got me the answer I was looking for 
"Trae mi té, mujer."

 Punctuation is important.  

 So is his tea.
