Caffeine is the addictive ingredient!. However with the amount you drink you should not have any concerns!. Normally the people that get addicted to caffeine consume large amounts on a regular basis!. Regular tea (black/red) has 50mg per serving!. If you have different teas that have other stuff mixed in with the black/red tea it could actually have less than that!. Green tea has 30mg per serving!.
Now, unless the tea has low caffeine, has mint in it, or is chamomile tea then it is not relaxing!. also putting a lot of sweetener in it can make it not very relaxing either!.
Coffee starts at 85mg per serving and can easily have double that!. So it can be addictive with just a couple cups a day!. Coke has 44mg per serving but other ingredients can make it addictive too!. Like the sodium!. Like chips, you can't eat just one!.
Basically keep it in moderation and you don't have to worry about being addicted to caffeine!. It might also be good to konw that 300mg is the maximum safe level of caffeine we should consume in a day!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think tea is addictive although I love it and drink lots of it!. I don't get a craving for it if I am out all day and can't have a cup of tea!. also, tea doesn't affect me adversely whereas coffee does!. I always get a headache after drinking coffee and I can't sleep if I drink coffee in the evening!. I can drink tea right up until bedtime and I always sleep well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I drink decaffeinated tea and still love to drink it everyday!. It's just soothing for me, so maybe I'm addicted to that soothing feeling!.
