Why do people consider herbal tea a type of tea?
Why not?
1. the dried and prepared leaves of a shrub, Camellia sinensis, from which a somewhat bitter, aromatic beverage is prepared by infusion in hot water.
2. any kind of leaves, flowers, etc., so used.
3. any of various infusions prepared from the leaves, flowers, etc., of other plants, and used as beverages or medicines.
so call it herbal water if it makes you feel better
Proving that coffee is tea
Perhaps we should call this the tea room (especially since bein hazmanim has given us an infusion of British posters).
Tea is a plant. We use the word “tea” to also mean the drink. But the drink “tea” is an infusion made from cured and processed leaves of the tea plant. Using leaves of other plants will give youa n herbal infusion but its not “tea” no matter what you decide to call it. A hot drink made from chickory isn’t “coffee”.
