Tea is literally fragmented tea leaves. In other words, you don't.
A strainer or a tea infuser is commonly used to separate tea leaves from a water mixture when making tea. The strainer is placed over a cup or teapot and the mixture is poured through, allowing the liquid to pass through while trapping the tea leaves.
Tea leaves (Camelia Sinensis).
When a tea bag is placed in water, the water fills the tea bag. The soluble matter of the tea leaves, what essentially makes the tea, then diffuses into the water through the bag. The brown coloring is a result of this process.
Tea is made from the leaves of the tea plant that has been wilted; dried and undergone an oxidation process which causes the teaâ??s to turn a dark color.
The basic ingredient of green tea is the same as the basic ingredient of normal ("black") tea: tea leaves, that is, the leaves from the tea shrub. In the case of black tea, the leaves are fermented; green tea is unfermented, or fermented less. But the leaves are the same.

if steeping tea leaves in hot water produces a healthy, beneficial drink, why do we not consume the leaves to get more/all of the beneficial characteristics of tea leaves?

Green tea is made exclusively from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The leaves have been gathered and heated (by steaming or pan-firing) to stop the oxidation process so the leaves retain their green color (this is why they don't turn black like black tea).Sometimes green teas are blended with other ingredients; these are technically called flavored teas and are not strictly green tea.
