is an aromatic beverage prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over
cured or fresh leaves of Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to
China, India and other East Asian countries. There are many different
types of tea; some have a cooling, slightly bitter, and astringent
flavour, while others have vastly different profiles that include sweet,
nutty, floral, or grassy notes. Tea has a stimulating effect in humans
primarily due to its caffeine content.

are the infusions of fruit, leaves, or other plant parts, such as steeps
of rosehip, chamomile, or rooibos. These may be called tisanes or herbal
infusions to prevent confusion with "tea" made from the tea plant.
