As above, it's really just an example of
metonymy
in action: a substituted name; the substitution of a property or associated object for something's original name.
If you wanted to coin a term for this specific subset, you could go with (a)etionym with the sense a name for a finished product derived from the originating substance, as tea, coffee, bronze, jade, &c.
