Ignoring the fact that coffee beans aren’t beans, for the same reason we don’t make tea with just any leaf. Someone braver than you tried it and it was disgusting.

Or even psychedelic. Don’t think I need to say not to forget it, because I’m sure you won’t be able to 🫠

Tisane to be pedantic

We do make tea with a lot more plants than people realize though.

Absolutely that’s why I didn’t specify a leaf type. Probably could have said poison ivy and been fine though

Dont they make Tea out of stinging nettles or something?
I’ve tried hibiscus tea which is nice even without the sugar.

No, tea is the name of the plant. If its not made from tea leaves its not bloody tea!!

I’m gonna go and brew myself a nice and relaxing lavender verbena tea.
You can have the “bloody tea” yourself (which sounds disgusting btw I’d prefer my tea plant based, thank you very much).
gmtom@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Tea is just blank blood diluted in water

Oh apologies Commissar, I didn’t realize! I’m just a poor American coffee drinker.
