    For example, black beans tea exists, so you should know…

      Wait. Really? I thought tea is defined as drink made of tea leaves. Well, you always learn something new :)

        Traditionally, yes, to be a tea it must be made with camellia leaves (usually sinensis, but sometimes taliensis). Anything else is technically a tisane or an infusion, not a tea.

        But that only matters if you’re a tea snob ;)

        I know, that’s surprising. I live in Japan and saw many different types of teas.

        About the black beans tea, here is one article if you’d like some reading: https://senbirdtea.com/5-health-benefits-of-kuromamecha-black-soybean-tea/

        Also, I had gobocha here, which is made off of dried roots, and my wife makes some tea with dried mushrooms.

        Maybe those are more like infusions to be honest, but the Japanese word to describe those drinks is “cha” which is basically tea.

    I wanted to post Wondermark’s comic about bean juice and now I discovered that the site is kinda down.

    Thanks for making me sad.
