I'm going to have no where to go with this after the first line or so, but I want it anyways. I want a third primary category of brewable beverages. Coffee, tea, and...
Now I have no idea what to fill in there. I assume there has to be some way that you can brew roasted chocolate beans and get a tasty brew unlike chocolate, but sort of like a version of coffee.
I imagine similarly that there must be some type of nut or leaf or herb out there that takes well to hanging around in hot water for awhile and then releases some kick ass essential oils or something.
The best part a new thing to brew would be there a whole new set of accompanying devices. That is, if one assumes that the brewing process is different. But it would give us a chance to create a whole new style of things to go along with it. Like how maté has its own gourd with a drinking straw. Just imagine the possibilities!
And for a little while at least it wouldn't have to be as commercialized. Well, unless Starbucks invents it, which it probably will. But oh well. All the better. Hybrid constructions. Making things you don't like work for you. Or something.

Tea means only one specific kind of leaf - real tea only comes in white, green, and black. All other "herbal teas" or "tisanes" are actually different herbs, leaves, etc. that make entirely different drinks, which are not truly tea at all. There's also chicory and of course, kombucha...the only slightly alcoholic tea you ever need!
Barley and Hops make a nice brew.
