me: *editing someone's analytical essay*
Someone: What do you think?

Get the Teamug. Tea is NOT just a beverage. Tea is gossip and drama usually spilt by a few people like tea dealers there’s mostly one sometimes. But tea does go around in friendships.
Me to someone who wants tea: I heard that yesterday Becky was out for getting lip fillers
Person who wants tea: wow that’s some tea
Me to my friend,Ashley ( made up): ooo you got any tea I need tea
Ashley ( again made up): yep
Me: yay! Spill the tea all of it please! I might have some too.
Ashley: ok I heard that Gabby ( made up) called your man ugly and gay.
Me: THAT BITCH. Ashley that’s some tea thanks for telling me.
Ashley: what’s the tea?
Me: oh my boyfriend you know ,Kyle ( MADE UP AGAIN) said i love you
Ashley: awww that’s some cute tea.
( disclaimer:ALL THE NAMES I USED ARE MADE UP I DONT KNOW PEOPLE WITH THESE NAMES ITS MADE UP AGAIN I REPEAT THE NAMES ARE MADE UP)

Get the Teamug. Similar to “What the chile?”, this gag-worthy statement is simply asking about gossip.
What the tea can also be a replacement for “what the fuck?”

Person A: shut yo mouth, that’s why yo baby daddy left you and yo child.
Person B: oooh what the tea? 😭

Get the What the tea?mug. 
A cup of tea with far too much milk in it, to the point you begin questioning if there's ever been a tea bag in it.
