I drink tea now, but I used to drink coffee. I'm a T1D (Type 1 Diabetic), so I get blood-work done quite regularly, BP measurements, etc. I was surprised to see my BP drop significantly with my switch to mostly black tea (118/78 -> 100/60). I also notice less fluctuations in fasting blood sugars; my A1C is always between 4.8 and 5.2 FWIW. I feel more hydrated, I'm significantly less tired and I'm calmer. I have a cup of coffee every now and then, and I'm amazed at its impact, it's a very intense drink. I believe tea is the healthier beverage, but that's just me. I drink a lot of tea to compensate for the caffeine loss (4-6) cups (8oz) a day.
