Coffee is technically tea, but then bay broth (a foundation for chicken soup) is also technically tea.
I thought technically its only tea if it comes from a tea plant (otherwise its just a different hot water extract) but people will call everything prepared the same way (tea kettle and some kind of filter) a “tea” similar to how some people will call any kind of cola a “coke”
It’s technically an infusion though I don’t know if that changes between hot or cold water. But I think teas are arbitrarily determined: We decided that the black tea plants are teas and the weeds next to them are not based entirely on choice.
Coke is a specific trademark connected to specific recipes. But colas are all based on the cola bean, and some decent ones that get close to Coca-cola and Pepsi-cola.
Black, green, oolong, white tea all come from the same plant. Its just processed differently. Everything that isnt from camellia sinensis isn’t a “true tea”.
See I didn’t know that, what with tons of herbal teas, but yeah the ones I look up seem to all be black tea + extras blended into a concoction.
Wouldn’t tea imply it’s some kind of plant leaves being steeped in water?
