Caffeine is a poison. 

I think in other Samparadas they abstain from tea when doing Seva.

Because during the time of the British, the teas (not all) used to have tobacco in them.

The relationship between various sampardas and "drugs" is a colourful one, but perhaps saved for another thread...

according to me there are various reasons :- basically for the health reasons, Not only taksali but many others don't drink tea too, for example:-

my doctor told me that he doesn't drink tea or coffee at all. because he thinks that he doesn't want his brain to get addicted to it. he still feels active in the morning starting his day without tea or coffee. most of us who are addicted to tea or coffee, we need tea first thing in the morning to start our day. 

secondly when they process it they add colour n stuff so it gives you a good colour of chai when you make it. feeding colour everyday into your body is bad too.

When sant gurbachan singh ji and jatha visited calcutta they saw the packing of tea with tobacco so they banned tea in the jatha. Before that they drank it in the jatha

Tea was traditionally a medication; a herbal drug. It suppresses the immune system. People drink it repeatedly for indulgence now.
