Soil pH can be acidic, neutral, or alkaline. Caffeinated tea is low acidic. Ginger tea is less alkaline than green tea, and herbal teas are the most alkaline. Adding tea grounds to soil does not significantly change pH. Neither does adding a tea drink. However, the latter does add moisture to soil. What helps plant and soil health is compost. Tea bags, grounds and leaves break down quickly, in compost piles. Using the finished compost as mulch, fertilizer, or compost tea improves soil and therefore plant health. For example, there has been research to show that coffee grounds and tea leaves within compost may help make iron more available to radish roots.
