Best Answer

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do not drink tea because they believe that God revealed to the Church a health code called the "Word of Wisdom", which they strive to follow. This health code contains diet suggestions, including avoiding 'hot drinks' and 'strong drinks'. Joseph Smith defined 'hot drinks' as tea and coffee. Some Mormons will drink herbal teas but not black or green teas, it is all a matter of personal devotion and belief.
