Did you use regular tea, like Lipton, or an herbal? Regular teas have more of that really stripping feel to them. While I don't really think that it is bad to do, you certainly should probably follow with a touch of conditioner. It sounds like whatever strength tea you use was just a bit much for your hair. It could have thorugh the pH out of balance. Herbal teas don't usually have as much of an effect (sticky/stiff feeling) as regular, but they still can. An easy way to use them is to either follow with coniditioner, or use dilute it more.
Hope this helps, and you're certainly more than welcome to any answers I can give!
