Most teas have caffeine as it is a natural by-product of the plant. Teas that are actually made from tea (and not some other plant) have to be processed to remove the caffeine. Unless you are sensitive to caffeine, there is nothing wrong with it.

It doesn't contain much caffeine and also caffeine isn't bad for us in small doses. Green tea's also good for the tummy.

The basis for all the buzz about tea's healthy properties are polyphenols. They're a chemical compound that is found in tea. Polyphenols contain anti-oxidants. Antioxidants are basically chemicals that reduce oxidative damage to cells. Medical researchers have found a high correlation between oxidative damage and the occurrence of disease. Research suggests that consumption of antioxidant-rich foods reduces damage to cells and biochemicals from free radicals.

Caffeine is not poisonous in the amounts people normally consume.
Your assumption that it's not "healthy" is false.
