Well, what is 'tea' in your opinion? Obviously, you only consider black tea as 'tea'. This, however, is a too restricted definition.
Once we had an English language assistant at our school who told us that she didn't like the taste of tea. We found that surprising because we thought that all English people love tea. :-) It reminded her of dried leaves.
I clapped my hands and said, "Bravo! This is the precise description of tea."
All parts of a plant or a tree which you dry and on which you pour boiling water become tea.

@ThreeTeddies What I find really vile is green tea. Do you like and drink it?

@MALUSE Traditional, good, old-fashioned black tea was, of course, what I was referring to. Boiled tree bark doesn't appeal to me!

@ThreeTeddies Today I bought some lemon ginger tea! Sometimes I will take fresh herbs and steep them in hot water for 15 minutes . . . like thyme and oregano. Black tea is always good!

@much2say Couldn't be bothered with steeping for 15 minutes before I drink it. Black tea rules!

@much2say You are very adventurous with your tea drinking. I'll stick to traditional black tea!

@JudyEv Earl Grey is particularly perfumey (if that's a word)

I haven’t tried to many teas but I bet I would like the fruity ones. I drink Lipton tea that I make iced tea with.

@marguicha Never liked Earl Grey. Coming from Scotland my preference is, of course, Scottish Blend!
