It has been reported tea is beneficial for many parts of the human body - including blood pressure, diabetes and even aiding stroke reduction.
Dr Mosley revealed some astounding findings from his research on the subject, including some shocking figures about aging.
He said: "A study of nearly half a million people in the UK found that those who drank two or more cups of tea a day had a significantly lower risk of dying over the course of the 11-year study than non-tea drinkers.
"Why? Well, the benefits of tea seem to be most pronounced when it comes to stroke and heart disease, and this positive effect remained even when people added milk or sugar to their tea."
