A cup of tea is a drink which restores 3 Hitpoints and temporarily boosts Attack by 2 + 2% (rounded down); it will also instantly cancel the effect of the goading potion. Upon drinking a cup of tea, the player will exclaim Aaah, nothing like a nice cuppa tea! and an empty cup will remain in the player's inventory.

Tea may be purchased at Ye olde Tea Shoppe in Varrock or stolen at the nearby Tea stall with 5 Thieving.

A tea flask may be used to store up to five cups of tea, which will have the standard effect when consumed.

• A cup of tea is used in the Dig Site quest to bribe the Panning Guide in order to use the panning area found in the Dig Site.
• Nettle tea, a variation of standard tea, is created in Ghosts Ahoy for the Old Crone.
• Tea can also be found when speaking to Galahad by the forest north of Ardougne.
• An empty cup is used in the quest One Small Favour.

• This is the only type of tea that cannot be used with a bucket of milk to make a milky version.
• Nettle tea and POH tea have the empty option, but this standard tea does not.
• In RuneScape Classic, players were able to telegrab the display tea unlike in RuneScape 2; it was tradeable. If the player dropped the display tea, they could not pick it up unless they used Telekinetic Grab. It was also used in scams occasionally.
• Ghasts cannot rot tea. This may be because a cup of tea is classed as a potion.
• Drinking a cup of tea does incur a combat delay similar to most healing items.
• Players can give a cup of tea to Elsie on the second floor of the Varrock church. In exchange she will tell the player a story.
• A variant cup of tea can be found in Yanille and is involved in Zogre Flesh Eaters.
