The Tea flush worm (Cydia leucostoma) is a moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in India, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Indonesia (Java and Brunei).
The wingspan is 11–15 mm. Adults are on wing from May to October.
The larvae feed on Camellia sinensis and wild tea. The larvae attack the tea plants, making tight rolls of the bud and top leaves of young shoots. Infestation affects both the yield and the quality of the tea.
