There is fruit tea which doesn't contain leaves. You could probably make bean tea.

My thesis is that coffee is "not-tea"-tea like herbal tea, fruit tea, etc. So coffee is basically fruit tea. But the goes before that those drinks are called tea.

would work for plain 'pour water over ground coffee' style coffee. Doesn't really work on espresso based products. Seriously, can you say with a straight face:

> Venti Iced Skinny Hazelnut Macchiato, Sugar-Free Syrup, Extra Shot, Light Ice, No Whip

and call it "a tea"?

>>9030153
Coffee is a form of tea, but tea is not a form of coffee.

However, people tend to use the most specific descriptor possible.

Coffee specifically refers to tea created from the beans of the coffee plant
