▽ some dragnsthe thought "coffee is tea" entered my head unbidden and i had to make the whole alignment chart in order to banish it
vx. redgrave, maid of mind@chr delicious bean tea
Rockario@chr Sadly, for bathwater to qualify we would need to extend the chart
Shyra “Tech” Ambrosia 
@chr finally the “hot bean juice” vs “hot leaf juice” debate has been settled! 🤣
eviloatmeal@chr I would brew coffee and tea in cold or hot water. Never in boiling water.
m;bluelander@chr Since it's made from corn syrup, by the bottom-right definition, Mountain Dew is also tea

Ted Hart-Davis 
Mycroft 🍊🐰🐰@chr meanwhile I'm off the chart in an extension having a mug of chicken broth for tea

TEA TREA OIL IN YOUR MOUTH, *gags* NO. NEVER. I DON'T WANT TO SUFFER TAURIFIC FATE

Aster Cybercoochie 3088@chr please do not drink tea tree oil ;-;
stuart yeatesCame here to say this.
"Avoid swallowing tea tree oil. Drinking even small amounts can be toxic and lead to breathing and movement problems."

caite m@stuartyeates @alexandria @chr tea tree oil is also from a completely separate Australian tree, Melaleuca alternifolia! I think it got named tea tree because it stains the water its leaves fall into brown, like tea. I'm not sure what else could replace it in the table unfortunately...

Well oak bark has been used in tanning to make reddish / brownish stuff for ~3000 years, so there's someplace to start?

@chr i would count herbal tea, green/black/white tea, and matcha as tea personally. i'm not sure what infused water is exactly

@chr this chart shouldn't have "tea tree oil is tea" in the column "must be made from Camilla sinensis" because tea tree oil is not made from Camilla sinensis it is made from Melaleuca alternifolia. Completely unrelated.
eichkat3r zieht um@chr i'm team maple syrup
Cysio 
Seaside Fountain@chr QC here, can confirm maybe syrup is a perfectly suitable drink :) (joke)
Skookumchick@8bitdemongirl What do you think of whisky with maple, like Sortilège? As a Westerner I like it on rocks or ice cream but whisky purists are prob horrified.
@Canuckduff Honestly, I have little idea, since I don't drink alcoholic stuff; I'd assume it's sweeter than normal but I don't know how whisky normally tastes
Sam Clemente@chr Now is tea soup?
Ned Hairston@countablenewt @chr Not unless you drink it leaves and all. But it may be broth.
Plan A to Y@chr ok hear me out, if we're going with the logic of the bottom right corner:
*Is gasoline tea?*
It's made from plant matter, and it is to some definition "drinkable". If not then moonshine is still definitely tea so there's very likely an overlap in the two categories of "can run your car" and "technically tea"
Michael Gemar@Plan_A_to_Y @chr Yep. Oil is tea (according to the bottom right).

食 Shoku the Umbreon@chr coffee is emo cherry juice
Passoca Witch 
@TheMNWolf can I boost this toot? .-.
@passocacornio lol absolutely.
For those that don't get the joke, coffee beans come from cherries.
Moritz Negwer@TheMNWolf @passocacornio and you can dry the fruity bits of the cherry and make tea out of them. Tastes (unsurprisingly) like the faintly fruity aromas of good bean coffee, and still contains caffeine:

Asta [AMP]@chr I do love how many people piped in with "uhhh please do not drink tea tree oil, also it is NOT made from camellia sinensis"
but also, yeah.
but also, yeah.
Snapai 
Scruffy looking packet herder@chr Coffee leaf tea or kuti is an actual thing and actually predates using the beans. This is a very funny chart, btw.
Granny Art (Shrimp) (Joni)@chr @janeadams wait, Tea Tree oil comes from camellia sinensis??
laen🪻@artcollisions @chr @janeadams
er, no
(also, please don't drink it!)
A cool crab wearing shades
🪨@artcollisions @chr @janeadams No, the Australian tea tree is Melaleuca Alternifolia, so not related at all.
@ NovaNaturalist HAS ALSO MOVED@chr I'm for maple syrup is tea #BuyCanadian
Asakiyume@chr ... would not want to drink tea tree oil, but I guess it's not an impossibility!
@Canuckduff @chr 😨 My somewhat granola parenting involved using it externally but I can't imagine making someone drink it 😬
@asakiyume @chr IIRC it was to boost immune system or anti-candida? Thought it was a few drops in glass of water, taken like a shot, but may be confusing w oil of oregano.
@Canuckduff @chr Anti-candida sounds plausible. It was supposed to have great fight-stuff potential. Antibacterial, etc.
Evelyn Estelle@chr Thank you! This is something that comes up occasionally in my circle. (Or maybe it might be just me.)
Now I have a chart to show!

Rakul Amenta@chr I keep telling people that they have to call coffee tea if they insist on calling traditional maté tea.
