Victorian Tea Barbie was an Avon-exclusive Barbie themed around, well, a Victorian-era Barbie having tea. However, this was not the only Barbie that Mattel used the phrase "Victorian Tea" for.
The Victorian Tea Porcelain Collection Barbies were two Barbies from the late 1990s depicting rather more elaborate Victorian-era fashion - and, of course, tea.
The two dolls in the collection were Orange Pekoe and Mint Memories.
I can't speak to exactly how accurate these fashions are, but they certainly look a lot more detailed and, well, less cheap than the Avon collaboration. Plus, as with all Barbies in the Porcelain collection, they came with absolutely beautiful box art.
Interestingly, the special care instructions enclosed with Mint Memories proclaimed that she was the first porcelain Barbie to have a moveable head so she could be posed with different "attitudes".
It also details that the teacup contains 22 karat gold paint and that, although her hand is posed to balance the teacup, they recommend adhering the cup and saucer to her hand with adhesive.

Orange Pekoe - Anne
One of the original three owners of the tea shop, 23 year old Anne is constantly looking for new tea recipes to try! For the first part of the story, she is abroad in China studying different types of tea leaves and how to brew different types. She became a magical girl during her travels, but due to being in remote areas, had not been able to contact her friends until returning.
About the tea: Orange Pekoe Ceylon is black tea from Sri Lanka. It doesn't taste like oranges at all! It's harvested when the leaf bud has only two young leaves. According to the grading system for Orange Pekoe, Ceylon tea is a TGFOP (tippy golden flowery orange pekoe). Steep the tea for 3-4 minutes in hot water, or if you'd like a cold brew tea, leave the tea leaves in a bottle of water overnight. I personally like cold brewing and adding a slice of lemon for a refreshing treat in the summer.
