Packaging on my box of green tea claims it has "all natural ingredients"

Which needs me to wonder what a "all unnatural ingredients" tea would be like, like how far can science go? What would it even taste like?

Thinking of

"all natural ingredients, but all but the most unnatural processes"

as a compelling tag line

@benjojo Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

@benjojo Guaranteed to contain no more than A certain low ppm of compounds that are ever found in nature. All intentionally added ingredients are synthetic and not know to be produced outside laboratory conditions.

@benjojo I ponder this every time I see a "natural ingredients" label tbh!

@benjojo I am reminded of that advert for a cleaning product featuring Brian Blessed being very excited about it containing “A PLANT BASED INGREDIENT”. Ok, just the one?
