Another use for spent tea leaves is representing bark on trees, especially pine trees made with balsa trunks. I have an associate whose On30 layout has several of them and the effect is quite convincing. As for using tea leaves for ground cover, doesn't the tea color wick out into the water-based adhesive (matte medium or diluted white glue) and stain the surrounding ground cover?
