A read in the wiki that there are tea bushes in Providence only: http://salemwiki.info/index.php/Tea_Bush.

I walked quite a bit around in Providence but haven't seen one. I use the Latikai client and in my cache directory there is a tea bush object, so I must have passed a tea bush during my gameplay sessions. I changed the radar.xml to show me Tea Bushes now, but I still do not know where to look for them.

Any suggestion in what area of Providence I might find a Tea Bush?

If you read the full page you linked you can see that it tells you that you can plant your own tea bushes via teapods purchased from an npc in town.

You need the skill Shrub Orchards to do so.

There should also be a few tea bushes along the river that crosses through town into the ocean; by the backside of the Den.

Yep, but it also says:

Found only in Providence. A player may harvest up to 6 Tea Leaves from the bush. Tea Leaves regenerate within a day or so.

So it sounds like I do not necessarily have to buy them, but could also find and harvest them in Providence.

They are only "found" naturally in Providence. It means like you can not find them in the wilderness unless they are planted by player.

If you only need a bit tea, there is no need to plant an own bush.
Because you can also buy the leaves for 5 silver the piece at the normal NPC Stall.

At the moment you have also a big chance to harvest them from Providence teabushes, because the tea is not useful anymore while raiding or fighting.
Means, people don't look for much tea at the moment.

But i'm sure JC will give the tea a new glorious time in future again.

I have marked the location for you.

Cannons is a good hint

what do people use for raiding then?

honey and normal regen food. It used to be that the tea regen worked even in combat/under the crime debuff, but that was changed recently.
