Tea party is an old term for a gossip fest, and spilling tea means accidentally( on purpose) dropping an irresistible tidbit of gossip.

Technically, tea comes from the leaf of one particular plant. The same plant is the source of green tea, as well as the black tea that is much more popular in the U.S. Tea is more widely consumed than any beverage in the world other than water. Most tea consumed is black tea, which is produced by a process which oxidizes the green leaf. This process enhances the taste, but destroys most of an important class of chemicals called green tea polyphenols (GTP).
