Surprisingly it was pretty popular as slang about 10 years ago. I remember being in high school here in the US and hearing students say “here’s the tea” when they’re about to bring up gossip

It’s a thing in the US for sure, though relatively recent (10-15 years?)

I know it sounds silly now but this was really an actual big thing discussed in the mainstream for a hot second. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_(minigame)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_(minigame) I don’t know, I remembered it as coffee when I learned about it.
