To the best of my knowledge and belief, "tea" as the name of a social
event is long out of period. In my view, the practice of having
"teas" at events is in the same category as announcing a Queen's Arts
Cocktail party--one more way in which the SCA decreases historical
knowledge instead of increasing it.
So far as Europe is concerned, I believe the drink tea is also out of
period, although not by as much. Tea was, of course, being drunk in
China and elsewhere much earlier.
I would suggest finding a period social event that fits your purposes instead.
One of my buttons.
