Like coffee, I've never understood the draw to hot tea. When you make it you have to wait many minutes before it's cooled enough to not burn your mouth, and then the flavor doesn't seem very strong. It's not too difficult to tell the difference between teas, but they are all weak and bland, IMO. About the only thing I'll drink like that is hot chocolate and occasionally cider. Even then I have to stop the water kettle well before it starts whistling or I have to wait 10-15 minutes to take my first sip. Coffee certainly has a strong flavor but it's always turned me off because IMO it stinks.
These days I drink only water with occasional hot chocolate when I'm feeling cold. I can tolerate iced tea, even sweet iced tea (though sometimes it's so sweet it makes me gag), but hot tea just feels like a waste of money.
