453 Tea[a] is an S-type asteroid[4] belonging to the Flora family in the Main Belt.[3] Its diameter is about 21 km (13 mi) and it has an albedo of 0.183.[5] Its rotation period is 6.4 hours.[6]

In the 1980s Tea was considered as a target for the planned French Vesta spacecraft.[7] The spacecraft was not built.

Tea was discovered by Auguste Charlois on February 22, 1900. Its provisional name was 1900 FA. It is unknown after what it was named.[8]

It came to opposition at apparent magnitude 12.2 on 3 May 2023 and then perihelion on 27 May 2023.[2]
