Bad idea to leave boveda packs sitting on tea leaves?
Just in case it's a bad idea, thought I would ask. Other than crushing some leaves, any other possible negative effects?

i think it's fine
The packs are supposed to be fully food safe (including the thickening agent and the exterior paper), so the only real risk I see is that you somehow manage to get a hole in the pack (without noticing) and have the contents leaking out, spoiling your tea. I wouldn't worry about it.
That being said, I usually keep a thin layer of plastic between my cakes/bricks (I don't have any loose leaf tea stored in a controlled humidity environment) and the Boveda packs. It's more of a "why not" than anything else.
