The tea thing seems to be really only for drinking it while it's still extremely hot (over 60° C) and the few studies showing any link are mostly from places where there are many other factors (like high smoking rates, frequent exposure to things like smoke from open fires used for cooking etc.).
It's very unlikely that there is almost any real risk from hot tea, as long as you let your tea cool down to a reasonable temperature (especially compared to a risk factor like smoking).
