    That’s something different then. Tea is called tea because it’s made from tea (Camellia sinensis).

      Sorry, I wasn’t going to look up what the non-tea plant thing that is usually called ‘tea’ is actually called, just for this thread.

        There’s decaf tea, like there’s decaf coffee, but it’s still camellia sinensis.

        Now, if you’re talking about herbal tea, there are a bajillion different kinds: rooibos, chamomile, lavender, etc. Some herbal teas do have caffeine (such as yerba mate), but most do not.

          I fux hard with chamomile and yerba mate for completely opposite reasons from each other.
