organic black tea

Why is there an organic layer in my tea?

I’ve noticed lately that when I’m drinking tea it often has a thin organic layer resting at the top. Does anyone know of any components in tea (black tea) that would produce that? I’ve checked for possible contaminants, but everything seems pretty clean. I drew it off the top once, and it does indeed mix with other non-polar solvents, so its likely organic.

Likely just an oily type compounds from the actual tea leaves themselves. Much like the layer you see on soups with meat or chicken. Difference is simply plant oil versus meat oils (a.k.a. fat).
