I don't think so. No where on the package (at least on my tea) does it say 'Do not injest contents' like it does on those little bags of moisture absorber that you find in various products.

Is tea an acid alkali or neutral?
Chinese tea, like all true tea from the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) is mildly acidic. The pH of tea has a wide range, but tea tends to be considerably less acidic than typical fruit juice, and much less than soda. Tea does contain some alkaline components (like caffeine) but these are only present in trace quantities and are out-balanced by citric acid and oxalic acid.
One particular Chinese green tea that is more acidic (as evidenced by its sour flavor) is chun mee, or precious eyebrows. Most other Chinese teas are milder and have a higher pH.
The level of acidity also depends on brewing strength; the more leaf used, and the longer the steeping time, the more acidic the tea is.
