My experience is that cold tea as in liquid seems to be good for houseplants, but that the tealeaves encourage fungus gnats, which at best are a nuisance and at worst can start nibbling away at fleshy roots and bulbs. So empty the pot into a houseplant but put the leaves/bags on the compost heap. And I wouldn't empty on to plants any tea which had had milk added.
