The Sims 2
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: University Life
Tea was reintroduced in University Life. Sims can brew various kinds of tea, each having a different effect, similar to juices in The Sims 2: Seasons.

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

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; Spa Day, Cats & Dogs, Seasons, and Jungle Adventure each introduce one more type of tea. Tea can be brewed with the "Tea Magic Personal Brewer", which can be purchased in Build Mode for §275. Brewing once provides three cups of the chosen tea type, and it will, like any other perishable consumable, spoil after 10 hours.

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)
