Tea itself - provided all reasonable precautions are taken to ensure it is free of insects - is kosher. If anything treif is added to the tea leaves during processing, the tea would then be rendered treif.

Additionally, if you have tea with milk, then it should technically be with "kosher" milk from cows. goats, or sheep and you should, of course, not drink it within a certain time after you have consumed meat - how long will depend on your community and traditions (many Dutch Jews wait an hour, many Jews around the world wait six hours, many others wait for three hours).

Many processed foods - such as tea from vending machines, which may use a combination of powdered tea and milk in place of tea and proper milk, are not kosher as they may contain various other ingredients from animal sources. As a result, these are best avoided unless you have an assurance otherwise (the same is true of some coffee powders; though pure coffee - ie; coffee made from coffee beans alone and again free of insects - is also parve).
