I've never thought about this before, but I think there's a good argument that tea technically falls in the category of bitters.
After all, bitters are just an infusion of plant material. What is tea but an infusion of plant material?
On the other hand, bitters generally include many different plants and seems to be quite concentrated, while tea is just one plant and isn't as concentrated.
I guess asking whether tea is bitters is kind of like asking if hot dogs or tacos are sandwiches...
