Tea contains anti-oxidants that helps the body fight disease and infection. It also contains flouride which helps prevent plaque and tooth decay (assuming you go easy on the sugar! See Eris' above suggestion and try with honey instead  ).
How many things do you like that is also good for you!?

Tea drinkers also cause global warming.
So do coffee drinkers.
btw Voodoo : A lot of teas aren't meant to be used that way. Leave the bags in for too long an they will taste like crap (not like actual crap but it'll taste bad - not that I actually know what crap tastes like... really, I don't). There are exceptions though (I've had one that's supposed to boil for 30 minutes or so for example).
Oh, and honey >>>>>>> sugar in tea.

So you are willing to go to court with these alligations that this substance known as Tea is actually good for you.
Ive spoken to a Proffesor (Dr fyntoosh) he claims Tea is nothing but the liquid of evil, causes people to loose brain cells, have short term memory loss, Global warming, and also most importantly it gives Squirrels piles.

Coffee > Tea
Tea is only suitable for dumping in Boston Harbour.
I'm european... and I definetly agree with that sentiment.

You all just like tea cos Eris does. How about you think of the squirrels for once. Those aren't acorns hanging from their anuses. Antioxident my ass, it's a methane and causes hydrocarbons. Besides all that little pinky flexing can't be good for you.

A strong well-exercised pinky is an incalculable asset to any hardcore gamer. It's why Brits are second only to far eastern Asians in terms of gaming awesomeness...

O yeah, fresh mint, really hot water, honey is also amazing.
See there, real leaves and stuff
That's not tea. That's known as "stuff in a cup"!
When most Englismen talk about tea (though I don't claim to speak for everyone!), they're generally talking about blended black teas. Particularly English Breakfast tea.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blended_tea
They don't mean afternoon tea, with cucumber sandwiches, and little fine bone china cups. They mean big steaming hot mugs of tea. With milk.
If it ain't the above, it ain't tea, it's just some poncy nabmy pamby perfumed leaves in a cup.
Gah ... come to England and we'll show you the real deal! 
Darjeeling? OI! NO!

You sir, are no true Englishman. You drink tea like a god damned American! For shame!
Real tea =! PG Tips. Any true Englishman can tell you what variety of tea is in the bag just by sniffing it. A true Englishman will have no problem filling a "Top 50 Teas" list from memory

LOL. I thought Americans tended on the side of flavoured hot water with no milk.
Yer can't beat a good cup of PG! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgzEBLa3PPk
I'd like to invite you down to come into any one of a number of cafe's (CAFFS!) daaahn my way and ask for a cup of tea in any shape or form of Earl Gray, Jasmine or Mint!

The nearest cafe to my front door has about 5 varieties of tea. And its a right greasy spoon, too; a fancy place would have triple that 
Fittingly though, they only do two kinds of coffee- with milk and with no milk. The British way coffee should be served! None of this Italian 15 kinds of coffee flavoured steamed milk crap

What part of Sloane Square do you live in?
Agreed about the coffee. Hearing people ask for a Skinny Latte or suchlike drives me mental. I never really even understaood that, is it with skimmed milk or something? I used to think it meant they wanted it in a tall thin glass!

This reminds me, perhaps someone more educated in the art of tea drinking can answer a question for me. My personal favourite blend of tea is known here as "English Afternoon". However, I've recently finished off my stash, and to my horror, the one company that makes it no longer does so. I do, however, see "Traditional Afternoon" tea all over the place. Is this the same blend merely named differently or am I going to have to bite the bullet and find a different blend?

Blend names like "English Breakfast", "Traditional Afternoon" and "Gold Label" tea are more to do with that individual tea house distinguishing between their own blends. Its possible to have two "English Breakfast" blends that taste nothing like each other.
To see if what the first tea house called "English Afternoon" is based on the same flavour as what the others refer to as "Traditional Afternoon", you're just going to have to bite the bullet and go for trial and error

A latte is 1/3 straight expresso, 2/3 steamed milk with a layer of foam on top. A skinny latte does indeed use skim milk.

O/ Ooo me I love my tea. I get cranky if I don't have it for a few days. But here in the south we have what we call iced sweet tea. You boil the tea, then steep, then mix with sugar(about a cup to a gallon), then refrigerate. Serve with lots of ice cubes for an awesome drink. I'm also a fan of "hot tea" what is what the Yurups call regular tea I think.

Being English, and thus a lover of all forms of tea, I do like iced tea too. Nice to make in summer, when despite the desperate cravings for a good cuppa, you just can't quite bear to put any more heat in your body.

Damn you Eris, i cant argue with you, But Tea is still crap and Coffee > Tea
Tea also gives you bad stomachs as its crap like that. Information found by scientists that every person who drinks tea has half of the brain cells from a person who doesnt.
Kinda backs up my thoery that Tea is crap.
Jarack your God.
Tea drinkers also cause global warming.
Point being....

Ahh, I simply couldn't make it through the day without tea.
I wouldn't go as far as calling myself an addict - but I'm sure others would. Noone should be mocked for drinking tea.
Tea is the choice of champions... yada yada yada (insert appropriate praise of this marvellous drink)

When I first started playing, me and some buddies used to get together every night to mine.
First topic of conversation every night : So what kinda tea you drinking?
My friend bought this tea machine, some contraption, and I became a fan of those fancy gourmet teas.
These days, I drink plain lipton black tea.
Sometimes coffee, sometimes tea. Mostly tea.
