    I don't think so, I log unsweetened tea as water.

    Really it depends on the tea. If it's something pre-made in a bottle with some sort of preservative you may want to look for something else.

    If you brew it at home, that's probably fine. Might want to watch the caffeine though. You'll end up getting head aches if you have too much (or to little after a while.)

    Also too much caffeine at once may cause anxiety, and over long term might lead to some stress related issues.

    I've always been told you can count anything unsweetened that has caffeine as 1/2 a water. same with other drinks made with water.
