tea inhibits your body's ability to absorb iron...so if you are needing to build up the hemoglobin in your red blood cells you should limit the amount of tea you drink.

pros: relaxing and tasty
cons: i always spill it and it will never ever beat a nice cup of coffee

Tea is a rich source of antioxidants, which may fight cancer. It may also fight infections. It raises your metabolism slightly, and speeds up the distribution of oxygen in the body. It contains fluoride, which fights cavities. Tea may also decrease your chances of getting Type 2 diabetes or osteoporosis.

Tea can stain the teeth. You can cut down on this by rinsing your mouth out with water after each cup. It may raise your risk of kidney stones, though adding milk to it (if you drink black tea) or taking a calcium supplement may reverse this effect. It can inhibit iron absorption, so it's not a good beverage for anemics. If you drink too much of it, the caffeine and excess fluoride may have adverse effects. It'd take a lot of tea for you to overdose on caffeine, though; black tea has half the caffeine of coffee, and green and white teas have even less.

Tea is a very healthy drink.
