I take tea and I dont think it is mentioned in Srivaishnavam about this.
If you are a strict Srivaishnavite, you have to cook your own food, are not supposed to eat in hotels, not consume many food items like onion, garlic etc. I dont attach too much importance to the hotel thing, but I do not take eggs, meat, onions and garlic under any circumstances. Alcohol, cigars, tobacco etc are considered "bigger" sins and never even go near them!!
Tea and Coffee are quite OK in my opinion (in moderation).
