A new American research shows that this amount of tea would decrease the risk of developing skin cancer.
The team made a comparison between the amount of tea consumed by 1,400 patients with skin cancer and 700 subjects who had not developed the disease.
Tea chemicals had been found to induce an overall protective effect, but British cancer experts say that tea is the most effective against skin cancer.
The research made at Dartmouth Medical School, New Hampshire, surveyed two types of skin cancers: 770 subjects with basal cell carcinoma and 696 with squamous cell carcinoma, all diagnosed between 1993 and 1995 or 1997 and 2000.
Sunlight is the main factor triggering the disease in roughly 90% of cases.
In UK alone, 70,000 people are affected by cancer yearly.
