Well besides the fact that its soothing when you are sick or cold..
drinking both black and green teas is associated with a lower risk of heart disease,heart attack deceases 11% with 3 cups of tea per day,# In animal tests, both black and green tea and tea preparations have repeatedly been found to reduce tumor formation for cancers of the skin, lung, oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, liver, pancreas, and prostate. Although the antioxidant activity of tea is often reported as the mechanism behind these results, there is not strong evidence that this is the case. Tea flavonoids have been shown to have other properties besides their antioxidant activity that protect against cancer, such as
# Inhibiting new blood vessel growth (tumors can't survive without a good blood supply)
# Promoting death of damaged cells that may turn cancerous, without harming normal cells
# Preventing cancer cells from multiplying
