Tea is a diuretic which means you will lose most of the water contained in the tea. It contains caffeine which increases heart rate and, if drunk before bed, will make you unable to sleep. On the other hand:
Tea without milk has no calories.
Using semi-skimmed milk adds around 13 calories per cup, but you also benefit from valuable minerals and calcium.
Tea with milk provides 21% of daily calcium requirement in 4 cups
Tea contains some zinc and folic acid
Tea with milk contains Vitamin B6, Riboflavin B2 and Thiamin B1
Tea is a source of the minerals manganese, essential for bone growth and body development, and potassium, vital for maintaining body fluid levels
The average cup of tea contains less than half the level of caffeine than coffee. One cup contains only 50mg per 190ml cup
Tea is a natural source of fluoride and drinking four cups makes a significant contribution to your daily intake
Only 11% of UK water supply has fluoride added
Green and black teas are from the same plant, Camelia sinensis, and contain similar amounts of antioxidants and caffeine

Drinking tea straight after a meal is bad as it prevents any vitamins and minerals from being absorbed in the body.
Try swapping a few of your 6 cups to water or herbal tea.
Tea contains caffeine so you will get the shakes if you drink too much of it.

Tea is a caramel-colored drink and too much of it over a long period of time could cause kidney stones. I love tea myself and I'm just taking my chances.

The amount you are drinking, none.
Apparently, drinking tea is as good as drinking water.
Don't worry about it...enjoy!!!
