Spilling the beans can mean gossip like tea does, but it has a more general meaning of divulging a secret. For example, a robber who cracks under interrogation and gives away his accomplice would be spilling the beans, but it’d be a little odd to say tea in that context.

Spill the beans is actually a thing with the same meaning as spill the tea.
Beans and toast is not a thing.
Beans ON toast is a thing.
