Default Tea for houseplants - good idea?

My wife likes to save all tea left in the pot and give it to the
houseplants. Is it really any good for them?


There are certain plants that I know people swear by feeding them tea.
Camelia, I think, is possibly the main one I'm thinking of. But I'm
not sure if it's any good for houseplants or not.

I used to feed the dregs of my (black) coffee to tomato plants around my
desk at work. They were nice buzzy tomato fruits. :-)
