no but most do
There are a few differences of the processing of coffee beans to tea leaves. They would include the coffee beans are roasted and tea leaves are withered and rolled.
if steeping tea leaves in hot water produces a healthy, beneficial drink, why do we not consume the leaves to get more/all of the beneficial characteristics of tea leaves?
I like tea,especilly Green Tea. China Green Tea is the best one in all. Maybe you can try it.
Green tea, white tea, red tea, oolong tea, and black tea all come from the leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis;The processing that the leaves undergo to make the final tea is different. The leaves for black tea are fully oxidised while those for green teas are lightly steamed before being dried.
Tea is literally fragmented tea leaves. In other words, you don't.
Tea leaves (Camelia Sinensis).
The basic ingredient of green tea is the same as the basic ingredient of normal ("black") tea: tea leaves, that is, the leaves from the tea shrub. In the case of black tea, the leaves are fermented; green tea is unfermented, or fermented less. But the leaves are the same.
White tea does not become bitter as quickly as some other teas, however all teas will benefit from removing the leaves once the individual tea's optimum steeping time is reached.
Some are, some aren't. It just has to do with what they are made out of. Not all materials can biodegrade, just because of their chemical composition.
Tea
it depends what type of tea..... white tea is made from tea leaves
