I am vegetable in origin.
1. Would my grandmother recognise you as food?
Yes.
2. Are you normally eaten cooked?
Only by stretching those terms, but I am consumed hot.
3. Are you normally consumed in liquid form, like tea, some soups, etc.?
Aha! You are too clever, my boy. Yes, but I am a specific one of those.
4. Are you a particular kind of tea?
Yes. But which?
The question is: Are you likely two be mentioned in a list of ~6-12 well-known kinds of teas?

Yes.
