The weather here is simply a little too hot to drink decent hot tea. Since I am poor and have no air conditioning, drinking some piping hot tea in sweltering 35 degrees temperature is just a little much.
That has driven me to iced tea, but I suspect that I drank an overabundance of iced longjing the other day. I used some of my mingqian longjing for iced tea (the dump in room temperature water and brew method), but I think it’s too “cold” for me, and yesterday I suffered from some serious stomach ailments.
A Chinese doctor has told me before not to drink much green tea, as I am natrually “cold” based and shouldn’t drink “cold” teas that much. I should really just listen and not do stupid things like this again 🙁
