Yep~! As the mother of a redhead, and fair skinned myself, I swear by tepid tea. The tannic acid takes the pain out of the burn and you don't end up smelling like a pickle! (Daughter hated the vinegar!) Don't chill it, as that is cruel and unusual punishment. Repeat as often as needed for pain control.
