Mmm! They're all made from the leaves of the tea plant. Said leaves just undergo different treatment and then sometimes they have other plants or flavorings added to them. Like lavender, for example. Herbal teas are a different story though...despite having tea in the name, they're not made from tea leaves but a variety of other plants. Herbs, spices, flowers, roots...you get the idea.
[Tea is indeed wonderful, and there's a smile on the nymph's face as he listens. So they had a specific tea plant! Then used various herbs for tea as well. He nods as he takes another sip of this black tea, because he has made his own tea from herbs, flowers, and roots.]
Oh, many kinds. There's a whole galaxy worth of different teas from many different planets. There is cassius tea made from florets of the cassius tree, deychin tea, taurine tea which I believe is the most widely used. I'm particularly fond of it myself.

What sort of teas did you have back home?
