I �d say: He is having a cup of tea (at the moment). (Present Continuous)

Definitely not TAKE... Have is excellent as well as drink. If it is right now, present progressive... He is having (drinking) tea right now. If you describe a fact, a habit or something that doesn �t change, simple present... He has (drinks) tea everyday. |

Just to add to this - you can use take when it means �like �. For example: He takes his tea with sugar and milk. - He likes his tea with sugar and milk.
We often ask: �How do you take your tea? � which means �How do you like your tea? � and the answer might be �With sugar and milk � or �I take it with sugar and milk �.
