Wait, but it has caffeine in it?

Whether caffeine is a diuretic is dependent on the dose and whether you ingest it regularly. If you're in the habit, you need to drink quite a lot of tea quite fast for the effects to kick in. (Over 5-8 cups of tea.) If you've got a situation where dehydration is a concern (renal disease, diarrhea, working outdoors), then the research might not apply.
NHS happens to have a page on media reports about coffee being just as hydrating as water.

Wooooah cool!
I used to have hydration concerns as I had an ileostomy for a while so no colon function but that's all hooked up again!
