Addiction to tea is safe. Tea can help us detoxify our body from toxins. It's herbal so there's nothing wrong with it

There are many 'herbal' substances that are not good for us.
Tea - what about fluoride, aluminium and oxalates, just for a start?

Tea has caffeine in it, so if coffee is addictive, tea can be too.

There is a case for 'everything in life can be addictive'. However i reckon tea would fall on the more milder end of that scale 🙂

"Coffee and tea have distinctive flavours that many people find very pleasant, but taste alone does not account for some people's dependence on frequent cups from early morning to late at night.

Heavy tea and coffee drinkers seek the increased alertness or clearer thinking they experience after drinking a cup of either brew. The 'wake-me-up' properties of tea and coffee can become addictive. The chemical in both coffee and tea that stimulates our nervous system is caffeine, which is also found naturally in cacao beans, used to make chocolate. Tea also contains a small amount of a more potent stimulant, theophylline.

Once caffeine is absorbed into the blood stream, it can reach all parts of the body, and causes a variety of effects. It makes the heart pump more blood, but it decreases the blood flow to the brain by constricting blood vessels there. Perhaps it compensates for this by stimulating the cerebral cortex, to give us a more alert feeling! Too much caffeine can cause irritability, nervousness, jumpiness, irregular heartbeat, headaches, insomnia and other unpleasant symptoms."
