Oolong, e.g (3)

I believe the answer is:

tea

(Other definitions for tea that I've seen before include "This towel is for drying dishes" , "Infused beverage" , "Eg, gunpowder, pekoe" , "leaves much to be desired?" , "going to pot?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The Washington Post Sunday, the Jonesin', the USA Today, The Star Tribune and the LA Times.
