What is Tea TV?

Tea TV is a third-party video-on-demand streaming app with added. It also allows you to watch live TV. Tea TV allows you to watch popular movies, trending TV shows, classic documentaries, and more for free.

Unlike official all-in-one entertainment apps, Tea TV doesn’t host any content. Instead, it aggregates publicly available streaming links from the internet to provide you with your favorite films, dramas, and live channels.

Tea TV offers free streaming links, but if you want to enhance your streaming experience, you can also add premium providers like Real Debrid. Premium hosters host 4K streams on high-speed servers so that you can enjoy UHD-quality content.

Inside Tea TV, you’ll find the following sub-sections:

Features of Tea TV

Here are some features of the app:

Is Tea TV Safe and Legal?

Tea TV is a third-party streaming app that is unavailable on the Amazon App Store. This raises safety and legal concerns because some unverified apps are known to contain malware that could harm your device or compromise your data security.

While FireStickTricks.com lacks the resources to verify Tea TV’s safety, a scan with an online antivirus tool like VirusTotal should give a rough idea of whether the app is safe.

I scanned the Tea TV APK file on VirusTotal. One out of 66 security vendors flagged the file as malicious, which is enough to be cautious while using the app.

Tea TV’s legal status is ambiguous. The app doesn’t host any content but aggregates streaming links from the internet. We must verify the content sources, licensing and agreements, and other factors to determine its legal status.

FireStickTricks.com lacks the resources to verify these factors, so we can’t confirm whether the app is legal.

However, we don’t condone piracy, including aggregating streaming links without consent.

If you still want to use Tea TV, use a high-quality VPN to conceal your online activities. The VPN will also encrypt your data, keeping it safe from hackers and other third parties eyeing your online data.

Install TeaTV on FireStick Using Downloader – Recommended Method

Tea TV is not available on the Amazon App Store. To install it on FireStick, you must sideload it from an external site.

Even though the Fire OS is based on Android, you can’t install APKs directly onto FireStick through a browser. You need a downloader app such as the Downloader or ES File Explorer. In this section, I will show you how to sideload the Tea TV app onto FireStick using the Downloader app.

The page contains some unverified services, and we are not certain whether they hold legal licenses to distribute the content.

Preparing FireStick to Sideload Tea TV with Downloader

Before installing Tea TV, you must install Downloader via the Amazon App Store. Then, tweak the settings to let Downloader install APKs on your Fire TV.

For detailed steps, please follow our guide on sideloading apps on FireStick. Here are the quick steps:

1. Go to your FireStick home screen and select Find > Search. Then, look up Downloader and click on it. Then, open the Downloader’s dashboard and click Get/Download.

2. Open Settings from the FireStick home screen (the menu bar at the top). Then, click My Fire TV. After that, open Developer Options.

You will see one of the following two options depending on your FireStick device version:

• Option 1 - Install Unknown Apps: Click it and proceed to the next step to enable Downloader.
• Option 2 - Apps from Unknown Sources: Click this option and then click Turn On on the following prompt. Skip the next step.

Sideloading Tea TV with Downloader

You will need the Downloader app frequently for sideloading. I recommend creating its shortcut on the home screen for quick access.

1. Launch Downloader and click the text field on the right side of its Home screen (the app opens with the left Home tab selected by default).

2. Type in firesticktricks.com/tea when the onscreen keyboard appears and click GO.

Note: FireStickTricks.com does not host any APK files on its server. The above URL downloads the APK from the source. We are not associated with the developers. 

Update: You don’t need to install TPlayer separately. The latest Tea TV update lets you install the player inside the app. Once you click Watch Now on a movie or TV show, you’ll see a pop-up recommending you install T Player to continue. Click Install and follow the on-screen steps.

Note: After installing Tea TV, you may follow these steps again and install TPlayer using the URL firesticktricks.com/tplayer.

3. The Downloader app immediately connects to the server URL, and the APK file begins to download. You can see the progress on your screen.

4. After downloading the APK, the Downloader app initiates the installation. On the next screen, a prompt asks you to confirm whether you wish to install TeaTV on FireStick. Click Install.

5. Wait for TeaTV to get installed on your FireStick.

6. Installing TeaTV on FireStick will take a few moments. When done, the following window displays the App Installed confirmation.

TeaTV installation is complete now. You can click Open, but I suggest selecting Done for now so you can return to the Downloader app and delete the TeaTV APK.

7. Click Delete.

Note: Why delete the APK? The APK is useless after the app is installed. Deleting unnecessary files clears up FireStick storage.

8. Click Delete again to confirm the previous action.

This is how you use the Downloader app to sideload TeaTV on FireStick.

Streaming Content on Tea TV Safely

Before you start streaming with TeaTV on your Fire Stick, I want to warn you that everything you stream on TeaTV is visible to your ISP and the Government. In addition, streaming copyrighted content (free movies and TV shows) might get you into legal trouble.

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, can hide your online streaming and browsing activities. It helps you bypass ISP throttling, Government Surveillance, and content geo-restrictions.

Note: We do not encourage copyright violations. But what if you unintentionally stream content from an illegitimate source? It is not always easy to distinguish between a legitimate and illegal source.

I use ExpressVPN on my Fire Stick, mobile device, and PC. After trying several paid and free VPNs, I can say that ExpressVPN is the fastest and most secure. Here’s how to start using ExpressVPN on your FireStick and keep your streaming activities hidden from prying eyes.

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find followed by Search option.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.

Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.

Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.

Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.
