If it was just leaves, yes.
But because of everything else in every natural body of water, they’re actually soup.
Only if it’s a truly tiny pond and the leaf sits there for a while. I do see puddles a bit like that, although I’m pretty sure the random leaf tannins in there would be bitter and poisonous to drink.
I would also say there’s a “washed down tea-water” grey zone between water and tea, and it stays discoloured water until people are at least considering using it as a drink. In some languages, they even have a different word for water when it’s just in the environment.
Does that make frogs boba?
Not your ordinary boba… fresh LIVE boba.
Like the little cheepy Rain Frog? 🥹 Ohnooo!
only if the water is warm
Depends on temperature of pond
So is sun tea, made near room temperature, not tea as well?
Technically I think that would be a premature kombucha
Kombucha, you say…?
Feeling test-tea today?
With this method I have concluded that Tea Eggs are also a tea
