I’ve heard people say both of these things for decades, but when pressed, I’ve never known anyone to come up with a single citation.

As far as I know, the Church has never taken any position of what constitutes “tea”. Consequently, I stopped drinking herbal tea when I was baptized. If you feel differently, that’s certainly your prerogative, but if you can’t cite this, I think you need to state it as your opinion rather than established fact.

Thanks!
