The Sims 2: Bon Voyage
Tea returns in The Sims 2: Bon Voyage and can be found on various far east lots as well as the Pagoda in the Shadows, home to the Wise Old Man. Drinking tea will reward the Sim with a Vacation memento. Serving Tea to the Wise Old Man will make him tell the playable Sim the Dragon Tale, which Sims can tell to other Sims in order to earn another Vacation memento.

The Sims 3 Store
The Old Miller Tea Time Tea Set is available as part of the Brunch at the Old Mill set.

The Sims 4
In The Sims 4, tea can be used to achieve various emotional states when drunk. It functions similarly to coffee, but does not stave off loss of energy. There are six types of tea in the base game and two introduced in Spa Day and Cats & Dogs. Tea can be brewed with the "Tea Magic Personal Brewer", which can be purchased in Build Mode for §275. Brewing once grants 3 cups of the chosen tea type, and it will, like any other perishable consumable, spoil in 10 hours after being brewed.

Tea types
The tea names are references to actual tea, in the real-world; some have an altered name, while others have the actual name in-game.

Trivia

 * "Earl Grey, Hot" is a reference to  in which Captain Jean-Luc Picard would ask the replicator for Earl Grey tea with such a quote. The confidence boost may also be referencing the character's status as Captain or to "Boldly go where no one has gone before" ("Bold confidence" are the words on the buff)
