Traditionally, "tea" was a light meal people used to have about 4pm or so, to fill in the gap between lunch and dinner (which would be at perhaps 8 or 9pm). You'd have (obviously) tea to drink, and sandwiches and cake to eat.
Pretty much nobody does this any more (except in very posh hotels, cruise ships, etc). When "tea" is used as the name of a meal now, it pretty much always means the evening meal.
