The answer is simple and complex at the same time !

Contrary with coffee which is a " Stimulant" which  stimulates the "Autonomous  Nervous System " 
or the neuro vegetative nervous system or through the " Ortho -sympathetical"
system.

" TEA " is a counter-stimulant , or rather " CONSTRICTING CAPILLARIES OF THE BLOOD VESSELS" and working on
The " PARA- SYMPATHETICAL NERVOUS SYSTEM "

By, " Regulating body temperature " in closing the " ORIFICES"or" PORES"
of the " SKIN "...And even, when drinking very hot tea less than a " Gallon " you " Perspire "
As , the skin becomes " water-proof" in a way.

And , as we know , " BRITAIN" is a big " Island" surrounded
By " SEA " and lots of " Humidity "...

No wonder , why " British People" drink some " 12 cups of
Tea daily !

The British are a nation of tea drinkers, but this hasn’t always been the case. It all started in the mid-17th century, when tea made its way to English shores on huge ships owned by the East India Company. Ironically, this new beverage was served in coffee houses – popular meeting places where men would discuss business. Women, however, consumed it in their homes. The lady of the house brewed and served the tea herself, and the key to the caddy containing this expensive commodity was not to be entrusted to servants, so was safely secured around her waist.
