Sure, why not.
The boiling temperature fo the water will be lower than on sea level as the air pressure is only around 20 % on sea level.
But also the oxygen will be less than on sea level and if you use gas or other carbohydrates the oxydation will be slower and you will have problems to reach he necessary temperature.
Two possible solutions:
You use another form heat developing system.
Or:
All high altitude climbing expeditions today use a safety equipment against mountain sickness which is caused mainly by the low airpressure, it looks like a big sausage, the sick mountaineer is put in the bag and with a airpump you pump air inside, the airpressure in the bag increases and over hours the symptons dissaprear. Take your water and tea inside and you have the same conditions s on sea level.

At that altitude water will be hard to boil and get to the required temperature. Tea though only needs to be infused in warm water so a passable cup could be produced.
Tea should never be introduced to boiling water or have it poured on it. The water should always be off the boil to prevent bruising and tainting of the leaves.
If you want boiling water and the right conditions for the tea you will need a water vessel you can pressurise, such as a pressure cooker which will pressurise eventually from the steam produced and thus boil the water at the normal-ish temperature!!

The lower pressure will make the water boil at a lower temperature.
Freshly drawn and freshly boiled water at 100 degrees C is normally considered to make the best cup of tea, so probably not a very good one at the top of Everest

i'm rather particular that they are not decaffeinated, maximum quick food places in many situations in simple terms serve the evidently caffeinated teas.. if this is decaf, it's going to say it on the canister "Lipton ice tea DECAFFEINATED"... i have under no circumstances been pregnant, so I dunno the regulations of caffeine, yet i ought to absolutely advise paying for some Lipton Decaf contained in the field on the shop, and continually having some made up on your refrigerator, pour some into those cups that shop the beverages chilly (can't imagine of the note to shop my existence haha) and take those with you once you may ;) Congratulations on being pregnant!! what a attractive present!! xoxoxx

normal cup of tea 212f but no one drinks it at 212f. you always let it cool. so depending on how cool you like it you could have a cup of tea. the water will boil at a much lower temp.

I live in the mts lived at sea level. things will boil very very slowl at low oxy heights.
i moved from 5000 ft to sea level. my god things boil fast there. up high you must add time to the cooking process.

Sure. The water won't be real hot, but you can make tea with warm water.
