I am currently recommending tea -- black or green, decaf, hot or iced -- to my clients who want a caffeinated drink. Current research seems to point to beneficial effects from the flavonoids in tea. One researcher even goes so far as to compare a cup of tea to a serving of vegetables in terms of flavonoids, though I must point out that vegetables have fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which tea does not.
