I've seen them doing this too. I though it strange at first but after a while it makes sense. Alot of them make tea from flowers as well as just tea leaves.
Michael,
I often drink hot water instead of tea or coffee. I feel it is such a purifier. When discusssing my sore throat with a Chinese colleague recently, he advised: "Drink plenty of water. It always works for me".

So much more to learn!
