Actually ingredient purist should be "tea must be made from tea leaves (Camellia sinensis)". Black and green tea both come from the same plant. There are people who will tell you that chamomile is a "herbal infusions" and not tea because it comes from a different plant.

If it's not made of tea, it's not tea. It's an infusion.

It's extra annoying to me because in my first language there's separate words for "tea-tea" and "some boiled herbs-tea" that are commonly used, but thanks to lazy translation people are beginning to call everything "tea".

If it doesn't come from the Camellia sinensis region of France it's not real tea, just sparkling leaf water

Thank you! Tisanes are not tea. I will die on this hill.

TIL a new fancy word.

That is why I'm an ingredient purist. And I should add that Chamomile is an herbal infusion. No quote needeed. Don't offer me tee if your want to serve me some chamomile. Don't offer me tee either if you want to serve me hot water and present me an assortiment of plant a small bag. Tell me your going to serve hot water and I will chose what I drink.

And to keep the rant going in french "herbal tea" does not even have the "tee" word in it. So it is even more frustrating when someone offer you tee and you end up with some random "tisane" *rolling his eyes*

I guess I'll just offer you nothing then and instead ask you to leave? ¯\(ツ)
