No, you can only extract the water soluble parts and some of the aromatic oils in the leaves, using water. The bulk of a tea leaf (or any other leaf) is completely insoluble in water. If leaves were water soluble trees would loose all their leaves in any significant rainstorm (or if you sprayed them with water from your garden hose).

Green tea generally has a higher water-soluble polyphenol content compared to black tea due to differences in processing that retain more of the polyphenols. White tea may also have high polyphenol content, as it is minimally processed. The actual content can vary based on the specific type of tea, growing conditions, and processing methods used.
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 literally fragmented tea leaves. In other words, you don't.
Tea leaves (Camelia Sinensis).
Begin by adding the solute (tea leaves) to the solvent (water) in a container. Stir the mixture to dissolve the soluble tea leaves in the solvent (water). Filter the mixture to separate the insoluble residue (tea leaves) using a filtration method. The liquid that passes through the filter paper is the filtrate, which is your solution of tea.
It is not the teabag that colours the water but the tea leaves which are inside the bag, They contain various chemicals and some of these dissolve in water giving it the characteristic flavour and colour of tea.
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.
