Drinking three or more cups of tea a day is as good for you as drinking plenty of water and may even have extra health benefits, say researchers.
Sounds like its time to start drinking Tea again.

I thought too much of it caused kidney stones- Is coffee at all comparable or of any benefit? Also, does this include fresh brewed tea only or the kind you can mix too?
I think it depends on the Tea. Some are probably better for you than others. I’m not sure about kidney stones.
“Certain foods may increase the risk of stones: spinach, chocolate, peanuts, cocoa, tomato juice, grapefruit juice, apple juice, soda (acidic and contains phosphorus), all types of tea, and berries (high levels of oxalate). In the United States, the South has the highest incidence of kidney stones, a region where sweet tea consumption is very common. Other drinks are associated with decreased risk of stones, including wine, lemonade and orange juice.”

Sweet tea doesn’t count. I’m pretty sure they are only talking about Brewed Tea w/o sugar.
