What do you call the sediment of (unstrained brewed) tea (or any other herbs) settles at the bottom of the cup or the teapot?
I have found the word "dregs" but I don't know if it can be used for tea or not.
PS:
I know that "coffee grounds"is another term for those sediments in a cup of coffee.

Dregs simply means
You could certainly refer to the remnants of tea using the same term, and there are several instances online of this (7,750 results on google).
However, a lot of Brits would instead refer to them as tea leaves, using the same term for the remains as for the substance used to make the beverage in question.
