“What do you a call a dinosaur that drinks tea?”/“A Tea-rex.”

A tea riddle is:
     
Q: What do you a call a dinosaur that drinks tea?
A: A Tea-rex.

   
“‘How do you call a dinosaur in for its dinner? Tea, Rex!’—Gordon Brown. Guardian interview: http://bit.ly/ajaCIP  Aww, am I growing fond?” was posted on Twitter by braincoffee on April 23, 2010. The form of the riddle above has been cited in print since at least 2013.
   
“Tea-rex” has been shown on many images.
       
 
Wikipedia: Tyrannosaurus
Tyrannosaurus is a genus of coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur. The species Tyrannosaurus rex (rex meaning “king” in Latin), often called T. rex or colloquially T-Rex, is one of the most well-represented of the large theropods. Tyrannosaurus lived throughout what is now western North America, on what was then an island continent known as Laramidia. Tyrannosaurus had a much wider range than other tyrannosaurids. Fossils are found in a variety of rock formations dating to the Maastrichtian age of the upper Cretaceous Period, 68 to 66 million years ago.
