I don't think I have any tea to go with my lunch if that's what you mean. I actually don't have a tea time. I just have lunch usually either at 1pm or at 2pm.

As well as referring to the beverage, Tea is the afternoon/evening meal, called that even if the diners are drinking beer, cider, or juice. It traditionally takes place at sometime around 6pm (though these days, it often takes place as late as 9pm).
Throughout the UK (especially in working class areas), New Zealand, and sometimes in Australia, tea as a meal is synonymous with dinner in Standard English. Under such usage, the midday meal is sometimes termed dinner, rather than lunch. The prominence of this usage in Australia and New Zealand is almost certainly due to the influence of Scottish people for whom dinner is a meal eaten at midday and tea is the evening meal, the proportion of Scottish settlers being much greater in New Zealand than in Australia. Note that in modern New Zealand, the midday meal is still termed lunch. Hence Australians and New Zealanders commonly describe the three main meals as breakfast, lunch and tea.

The person below me is hungry for some food?
Tea should be ready in about an hour or so.
The next person will be drinking fruit juice.
The person below me is not at all amazed like I am about how long this thread is that's my prediction.
