Whew! It's so hot in here that it's almost to hot to have tea!
It's never too hot to have tea. When it's cold, tea warms you up. When it's just right, tea refreshes you. When it's quite hot, tea refreshes you even more. When it's very hot (like now), tea cools you down [*]. The hotter you are, the more it cools you down. QED.
[*] The thermodynamics of this are counterintuitive, and can't be explained to non-physicists (and obvious to any physicists who might be reading). All I can say is the physics is very cool (unlike the tea, which is hot in all cases, but like the result it produces in the drinker).
