Best Answer

True tea is typically not made from roots--only from leaves, buds, and rarely stems (as in the Japanese green tea called kukicha).

Many herbal teas, however, are made from the roots of various plants. This is true both of herbal teas consumed as a beverage, and those used for medicinal purposes. A few examples of plants whose roots are commonly used in herbal teas include ginger, ginseng, and licorice.
