Tea would be a herb.

"Herb" and "spice" aren't mutually exclusive tho.

Generally I find they are. Herbs are leaves, flowers and (herbaceous) stems, spices are other parts. A plant might provide both a herb and a spice, but they will typically be different parts of a plant.

Saffron is from a flower and is considered a spice tho. It might be the way it's processed that makes a difference. Regardless, when talking of the East India Company, the spice trade, and how that led to conquests, tea is always an important part of that story.
