 Will there be an option for not-tea?

 No.   You can't have tea and not-tea.

 At least until you answer the question "when is tea not tea" in
 a satisfactory way.  For example, the stuff that comes
 identified as tea but arrives in bags in many bad restaurants
 (and others that should know better), is pretty clearly not tea
 but it is less clear whether it is not-tea or not.
