You can make tea out of like anything though. Like different dried fruit make some of the best teas imho.
If tea doesn't have to be from leaves then coffee is a type of tea. Change my mind.
Tea is not burned , not ground, is not shit out by a squirrel
Tea is also not chunks of dried fruit and random herbs, it's a specific plant.
Actually I'm not sure you want to get into the etymology of "Tea".
We will be here a while and I have a whole rant in there about "Thailand" that no one needs to read.

No. Only tea is tea. If there's no actual tea leaves in it then it's an infusion. Not goddamn tea. You may as well soak orange peels in hot water and call it "orange coffee", it makes zero sense.
Yet everyone calls it tea, it's sold as tea as well. First time I'm hearing the term infusion actually. Tea is just hot water with added flavouring and that's how the word is used.
Funnily enough I have dried orange peel pieces to make tea out of as well.
I'm sorry you were taught words wrong.
I'm sorry you don't know how language works. Tea may have referred to the leaf like 50 years ago but that is not the case anymore.
