I this case it is a wordplay on the fact that young people these days call gossip "tea".

I feel old. Never heard of gossip being referred to as tea.

Whenever I see 'tea' in this context, I imagine upper class women at their afternoon parties talking shit about women who are not there.

Oh, men gossip too but for them it would be 'smoke'.

Yes, I am probably influenced by Mad Men.

Would being served a beverage at your aunt's not also be a given, though?
