Is tea compound or element why?

* Elements: Elements are the simplest pure substances that cannot be broken down further. Examples include carbon, oxygen, hydrogen.

* Compounds: Compounds are formed when two or more elements combine chemically in a fixed ratio.

Tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. These leaves contain numerous chemical compounds, including:

* Caffeine: A stimulant

* Theanine: An amino acid that promotes relaxation

* Polyphenols: Antioxidants

* Catechins: Another type of antioxidant

* Flavonoids: Pigments that give tea its color

Since tea is made up of multiple elements combined together, it's a compound.
