Tea of some sort, right?

[redbird]

Yes, tea. Camellia sinensis, formerly Thea sinensis, whose leaves become tea (black, green, or oolong depending on how processed).

Nice picture of it

moosl took a picture of a tea bush for me at the Missouri Botanical Garden, but it wasn't in flower. That's truly a lovely flower and much like the regular camellia's blossom. I'll have to show it to him.

Very pretty, I like. I didn't know that oolong is actually a separate category of tea from black and green; do you know or can you point to any further details?

[redbird]

I think it's a different method of preparation.

Since I'm procrastinating, I've made the picture into icons. Couple of versions; you're welcome to either:
