Answers:
Tea is acidic. Many plants thrive on it; camelias, azaleas, hydrangeas. Tomatoes also like the calcium in milk water. (1/4 cup milk + 1 gallon water) There must be additional nutrients in tea water that is not present in plain water.
caffene, mild acid ,minrals ,condies crystals these are some of the thing that are in tea that would help tomatoes grow
Tea contains Tannin. Tannin is an element found in tree bark,and in various plants.Tea of course comes from a species of Camelia.My advice to you,is to type in tea in the search engine you use, and see where it leads you. I use tea on my indoor plants,and they thrive. You don't need a lot,and don't use herbal teas.
