Huh? Sorry, “galactogogue”?

Since the original poster, Wanda, was asking about leaves and not seeds, is the resultant tea made from the leaves different from that made from the seeds?

Why is “tea” brewed from tea leaves and not tea seeds? Is it just that tea leaves are easier to get and more available?
