Like the first person said, most tea is rather good for you. Iced tea doesn't quite have the same benfits, but it still has some. Green tea is one of the best hot teas to drink though for health reasons.

I don't believe that tea could make some one being addicted to it. I am a loyal consumer to tea and as long as I feel even I've habituated to drink tea I have no problem to leave it for another drink. Instead, tea have so many advantage for human body like reduce the risk of cancer, heart-attack, constipation, anti-aging and another benefit.

tea is very good for health is we consume like a tonic but having too much it will effect ur system and more over in india tea is consumed with too much of milk which is very dangerous to health. having tea decaution a cup or two is very good.

I drink at least 2 cups a day too, because I really like it. I don't think it's bad for your health, and especially not if it's green tea. You need to drink enough a day to stay healthy anyway, and as green tea contains antioxidants it's extra healthy. Of course tea also contains caffeine, which is a little addicting, but it hasn't really bad side-effects if you drink with moderation. 1 or 2 cups daily can't hurt I think.
