When talking about things you consume, like 'tee', we often use partitive case in Finnish. So you would say 'join teetä' instead of 'join tee'. This is because you are drinking 'some tea' not an entire, countable tea.
However, when you are talking about a specific tea, for example, 'this tea is good', then you would use the nominative case. For example, 'Tämä tee on hyvää'. So pay attention to whether you are talking about something in general or a specific item.
