If what you want is pure Camellia sinensis, wouldn't that make fluoride an impurity? Generally, if an added component is undesirable, isn't it automatically an impurity, regardless of whether it was added naturally or not? You got me scratching my head over a word. :)

Category error? Plants are made of elements; fluoride is an element. If the plant, in its natural environment, binds to a particular element and includes it in its makeup, that does not make it an impurity.
