The Alchemy of Making Tea

i'm fascinated by the alchemy of making tea, which has to do with the biology that i was trying to argue for early on. Plants are, unlike animals, unable to move. They're stuck in one spot. So if a creature comes along, like an insect or me, to do damage to it, to take advantage of it, the plants will try to defend themselves through chemical warfare. That's really their r only defense. And these wonderful aromas that develop naturally in the tea leaf once it's taken off come from the combination of chemical defenses and warning signals,. communicating to the rest of the plant and to nearby plants that trouble the foot.
