Do you count tea as part of your water consumption?

As long as it has no caffeine in it, it counts.

Yes, I drink weak unsweetened fresh brewed iced tea and was told by both a dietician and a nutritionist that it counts as part of my daily water intake. It'd be no different than drinking the same amount of water, with a couple cups of coffee per day.

Yep.

I drink Yogi herbal teas...just have to be careful which herbs because I've got a new blood pressure issue giving me some grief and anything with licorice root or ginseng can elevate it but...they have dozens of teas that are wonderful and absolutely do count towards daily water intake.

I'd count it all... if I counted. I don't keep up with my water (fluid) intake. I do understand though that as a part of surgical recovery, you do need to be more mindful about it.

Here's the thing. I think all liquid hydrates you. Are caffeinated drinks slightly offset by the caffeine? Perhaps. Do alcoholic beverages have a similar offset? Maybe. But I am convinced it's not enough to matter -- for me. I do drink water each day. But I also drink coffee (full caffeine), tea, and wine. It's all liquid.

I drink decaf iced tea all day long, so yes, I count it.

I count my iced tea.

A couple of years ago I was having some tummy pains and my doctor told me that I needed to make sure I was getting enough fluid during the day. I was surprised when she told me that I can include my tea AND coffee as part of my fluid intake. (Obviously plain water is better than coffee though.)

Most things I see now say that it's OK to include caffeinated beverages. I generally don't count per se, I just try to make sure that at least some of my fluid intake is plain old water. I mostly drink unsweetened teas as my alternative drink (both true tea and herbal).

I'm going to say no. You can count tea as part of your fluid consumption but not as part of your water consumption. Tea isn't water. If a doctor or whoever wants to know your water consumption they want to know just that-your water consumption. Personally sometimes I find tea or coffee dehydrating and I have coffee black with just a teaspoon of raw sugar. So to me it doesn't count the same as water consumption. The only thing that hydrates us completely is water. Pure water. 

That one is my favorite tea, but I get the uncaffeinated one.

My urologist says no. I have to track my water intake due to kidney stones. I was no weight baring for 8 weeks. Getting up to go to the bathroom was very hard so I wasn't drinking. I developed kidney stones. I had to have surgery to remove them. I am now very diligent about my water intake.

All liquid, except alcohol, counts. People keep talking about water intake, but really it’s fluid intake, which does not have to be plain water. Caffeine isn’t physically dehydrating. Its diuretic properties aren’t enough to negate the amount of fluid you take in from the drink you’re consuming. Alcohol, on the other hand, suppresses vasopressin (the anti-diuretic hormone) which keeps the kidneys from reabsorbing water as they normally would. Even the liquid from your food counts toward your daily intake, healthy diets getting about 20% of their overall fluid intake from food.

ETA: OP, a good way for you to increase your fluid intake in the colder months would be soup/broth.

All liquids, whether they contain caffeine (or sugar or whatever else is the latest thing deemed to need to be "flushed away" by the crazy trends) or not, besides alcohol count. Go ahead and tea your thirst away!
