The cooldown for mission A cup of Tea is a 3 hours.
I will add that I collect every 3 hours of a filled cup for decoration, not finishing the whole mission, just go every 3 hours and write "lost" and collect the items again.
Information and conversation with the NPC are also in this topic :
Can I obtain items from the Roshamuul Quest more than once?
