Kelp tea or kombu tea is a herbal tea made from kombu, a type of edible kelp. On its own it does not contain any true tea (Camellia sinensis), although kombu may be added to green tea in some cases.

It is called konbu-cha or kobu-cha (昆布茶) in Japan, dasima-cha (다시마차) in Korea and haidai-cha (海带茶) in China, all meaning "kombu tea."
