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

      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

          “spill the tea” is a known idiom.

            It is?

            I’ve heard “spill the beans”, but never “spill the tea”.

              I haven’t heard it very frequently, but enough to know it

              It comes from the drag community. The “tea” is short for “truth”
