I'm sure BabelCarp has these entries:

kelp こぶち Japanese

Actually, no, but thanks for thinking of me. I don't see any evidence
that kun1bu4 is used by Chinese people in talking about tea. Maybe we
can get MarshalN and Danny to start using it, and then, who knows?

I don't generally put herbal terms into Babelcarp, but kun1bu4cha2
(kombucha) seems to be a bit hit on the Chinese Internet, so I just
inserted an entry for that brew so people who look it up will know it
isn't a "real" tea.
