Not at all. Tea has long been used to aid meditation and other
practices. Its a cornerstone of certain 'mystic' practices passed
down in my family, because it can have just such an effect.

Since the effect is very mild, during day to day drinking, when we're
concentrating on other things, its felt simply as a pleasant
relaxation. When tea is taken in a more ritualized setting, such as
during meditation or a tea ceremony, the effect is more easily
noticed.

Tea contains caffiene and caffiene is addictive.

Hope this helps
