If we're serious about this, Doc E needs to weigh in. She knows where
"brewed tea" originated and has a good story, I'm sure, and has to be
comfortable with a change, no matter what. I'm a little surprised no makers
besides Bob and Laura have spoken up.

"Aerobic" is good; "Aerotic" I would like to see, too. I expect we'll
always talk about "aerobic tea." Only problem with aerobic, as Judi, Karl
and Bob suggest, is the lack of a noun to describe the machine. "Aerate"
has more appropriate forms, like "aerator", for which there is no "aerobe"
equivalent, unless you want to try and talk about an "aerobor" or an
"aerobator"? An "aerobosizer?" I don't think so... new, strange words are
worse than inaccurate ones, imo.

I like "flume" and "tumbler" too, but I think the explanation would have to
be overly long and potentially even more confusing.
