    Wait. Really? I thought tea is defined as drink made of tea leaves. Well, you always learn something new :)

      Traditionally, yes, to be a tea it must be made with camellia leaves (usually sinensis, but sometimes taliensis). Anything else is technically a tisane or an infusion, not a tea.

      But that only matters if you’re a tea snob ;)
