Tea

Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured leaves of the Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to Asia, Terra. After water, it is the most widely consumed drink in the Union by carbon based beings. There are many different types of tea; some teas, like Darjeeling and Chinese greens, have a cooling, slightly bitter, and astringent flavour, while others have vastly different profiles that include sweet, nutty, floral or grassy notes.

Besides the beverage properly called tea, there are thousands of known beverages formed by the infusion of parts of a plant (most commonly fruit, leaves, stems, bark and roots) that contain the word 'tea" in their names.
