"Preparation purist" is wrong. You don't boil the tea, you steep it in hot water. For some teas, like black tea, you usually boil the water before pouring it over the tea, but other types of tea use water that isn't as hot (e.g. around 70-80°C for green tea).
Also, if you actually want to be an ingredient purist, tea must be made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis (or a closely related species).
You're arguing with a meme that put clogged gutter as pure tea ingredient
Correct. That would be tea as long as it's camellia sinensis.
That's the spirit
No, it's tea
No, this is Patrick.
You're a purist.
Im also correct
In China it's called 地沟茶
i mean, if you consider tea to be leaves soaked in water until the flavor comes out, then clogged up gutter water is tea.
What's the proper steeping time for decaying oak leaves "until the flavor comes out"?
I'd say you should steep them for up to a year, that way you get all the taste.
Excellent, I'll be ready to sell my current batch this coming October.
In some countries where tee grows naturally you can found riviers and pond where the water carried tea leaves fell from the tree, which give naturally to the water some aroma.
You hit the issue, theyre confusing tea, a specific plant, with an infusion. Herbal tea is more correctly called an herbal infusion. Tea is a type of herbal infusion.
From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbal_tea :
I think the confusion come from the fact that in many languages and cultures the name for tea and plant infusion is the same. Tea is name plant infusion because it is among the go to infusion if no plant is mention. But then in these language the name for "herbal infusion" or "herbal tea" does not contain the name of the specific plant "tee". This or the languages got it wrong. Yes, I go that far.
I came to say the same thing about Camellia sinensis, thinking "am I about to be more of a tea purist than is even encapsulated in this chart?" So I'm glad somebody else got there first lol
I'm steeping in sweat and I drank a lot of camellia sinensis, am I tea?
Unfortunately for you, yes. Please report to the nearest Tetley factory for processing.
ISO 3103. RTFM!

Misread that as Nobel prize and ...lol wtf
Oh shit. My earl grey (brewed in a ceramic (earthenware) mug) is not tea because it brewed in a mug, not a tea pot.
I've been to a workshop about green tea recently and you can prepare it with any water temperature. You can make it with cold water, it just takes longer. You can even place ice cubes into the can, put tea leaves on top and let them melt
Ice brewed tea is a thing in the US. Take a pitcher with water and ice, throw it in the fridge overnight with some tea bags
Or without the tea bags, if you want to brew American beer.
Zing!
Yes, sun tea is tea. I'd really like to see this meme done by someone who actually knows something about tea (and doesn't think it involves boiling tea leaves)
100% agreed.
Though I'm firmly in the "coffee is tea" camp
Coffee is hot bean juice
Coffee with vanilla and soy milk is a three bean soup.
No that's spoiled bean juice
As a bean purist, I have to disagree. (My puristic view: a bean can only come from a legume.) It's a one bean soup.
AKA Chili.
I think you're right!
I want to drink this!
Coffee beans aren't true beans. They are the pit seeds of the coffee cherry fruit, similar to other stone fruit such as cherries, peaches, plums, olives, and dates.
Okay, coffee is hot seed then
It's hot pit water.
As is miso soup
No, the fruit must be squeezed for juice. Soy milk is bean juice, but coffee is not.
As long as you're not claiming to be a purist I'll allow it.
I think coffee is sometimes tea, but turkish coffee and espresso are definitely not
It depends. It's perfectly acceptable to boil the tea for many Indian preparations (usually called cha or chai).
True, I forgot about that!
It depends of the kind of tee your using. Once I bought the wrong type of turkish tea and next thing I now I'm boiling my tea during month so I don't drink a slighty darker version of hot water.
Thank you. I am horrified that I had to scroll past a discussion of "is pho tea"? to get here. The so-called purist has never even made a proper cup of tea! So obviously pho is NEVER tea, since stock is extensively boiled.
