The only well studied effects of drinking tea are the Green Tea Catechins:

I would highly recommend people pay attention to the bioavailability
issue and pay attention to Quercetin. Green tea seems Godly in vitro,
but it has high variability in people because not 100% of the
catechins get to the cell to exert effects. Any supplementation with
green tea catechins, in my opinion, should have thought given to
increasing bioavailability through Quercetin, Fish Oil, or consuming
green tea with a meal that has these two.

The combination of all four catechins seems to be better than just
isolated EGCG, although pairing an EGCG capsule with a cup of green
tea would be even better.

The above site references many studies but the overall conclusion is green tea is really good for you, drink it:

It has been implicated in benefiting almost every organ system in the
body. It is cardioprotective, neuroprotective, anti-obesity,
anti-carcinogenic, anti-diabetic, anti-artherogenic, liver protective
and beneficial for blood vessel health. These beneficial effects are
seen in doses present both in green tea itself (as a drink) as well as
from a supplemental form.
