Tea^[4] (minor planet designation: 453 Tea) is an S-type asteroid^[5] belonging to the Flora family in the Main Belt.^[3] Its diameter is about 21 km and it has an albedo of 0.183.^[6] Its rotation period is 6.4 hours.^[7]

In the 1980s Tea was considered as a target for the planned French Vesta spacecraft.^[8] The spacecraft was not built.

Tea was discovered by Auguste Charlois on February 22, 1900. Its provisional name was 1900 FA. It is unknown after what it was named.^[9]
