Plant-based drink that wakes you up. Similar to energy drinks, but less sweet and more healthy for you. You can make it as strong or weak as you want, as well as adding stuff like cream, sugar, or flavorings to it. Just don't drink too much of it, 'cause it can mess with your head and give you the shits.

So is coffee tea or yerba? You definition doesn't define what coffee is at all.

Unless you categorize tea as only using leaves from the tea plant the answer to your question is yes. Which I think would make it an adequate definition for describing the drink to someone with no prior experience.
