Boro_Bandito:
I have a, limited, taste for Darjeeling. *snicker snicker snicker*


wait Darjeeling is a type of tea? I have no idea what types of tea there are, my knowledge of tea is nearly nonexistant.

Elizzybeth:
It's okay.  Any "I'm cultured!" points lost by not drinking tea can be made up by making Wes Anderson references.

axerton:
apparently the reason that tea makes you cool is that it pushes your internal body temp up just a bit, thus making you sweat, and the sweat brings down both your internal and external temperature. (this is just what I can remember of what my mother told me on the subject along time ago)

I never really drank either tea or coffee when I was a kid, they always just seemed to adult for me, so I never really got the taste for either of them, I suppose I could drink tea now, but the even the smell of coffee repels me. I am however a big fan of hot chocolate, especially the stuff that the coffee shop at my uni makes, with a shot of peppermint oil in it.

tania:
coffee and tea don't have to be a war! i really enjoy both.

also, i too heard that when you drink hot beverages during a hot day you shock your system into thinking you're cooling down so i tried this last summer and that was the first and only time i ever collapsed from heatstroke so i... doubt that really works. maybe for some people. i still like hot beverages during summer though, as long as i take them early in the morning.

Inlander:
I drink tea in summer, most definitely. However I drink different types of tea in summer to what I do in winter (and I don't mean "hot" and "cold"). Earl Grey is a superbly refreshing summer tea. Darjeeling can also be good. In winter I drink smokier teas like Russian Caravan or Lapsang Souchong, which I'd find much too "heavy" in flavour for summer. When I used to ride home from uni in summer I found a cup of tea refreshed me infinitely better than a glass of water.
