Meaning of What’s the Tea/Spill the Tea?

“What’s the tea?” is slang for asking about gossip or the real truth behind a situation. The term originally came from the drag queen and Black culture community, where “T” stood for “truth.” Over time, it evolved into “tea”, meaning juicy information or inside news. Today, younger audiences use “spill the tea” instead of saying “spill the beans.” While both mean sharing secrets, “spill the tea” mostly refers to celebrity gossip, viral drama, and trending controversies exactly what’s dominating social media right now.
