  I personally don't count tea or coffee, but you can as the diuretic effect doesn't cancel hydration.
  
  Pure water is the best way to go.

  I count tea and plain water. I usually have 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning so my water counts starts after that.

  I drink good ole black tea - Twinings Irish Breakfast! - but I use water to make it, so it goes towards my water count for me.

  I count any drinks, soups and ice cream towards my goal of water for the day.

  The Mayo Clinic counts it on their plan. I think they are pretty reputable.
