I have no idea about tea but it is in vomit if that helps.

Found this:
Butyric acid is a carboxylic acid found in rancid butter, parmesan
cheese, and vomit, and has an unpleasant odor and acrid taste, with a
sweetish aftertaste (similar to ether). Butyric acid is a fatty acid
occurring in the form of esters in animal fats and plant oils.

mmmmmmmmmm, vomit. Its whats for dinner

FWIW.... ticks have a thing for butyric acid. It spells Mammal to them.
They will hang out for days waiting for some animal or person to walk by
and then hop on and try to help themselves to a meal.
