I understand that people in Korea look at me funny when at 38°C in the summer I order a hot cafe latte.
But I also look at them funny no when at -15°C they order a Ice Latte to go.

    I mostly drink hot, but that’s more a matter of convenience than anything. Hot coffee can be ready now, where if I want coffee cold I want coldbrew, which takes hours.

    Also drinking hot drinks on a hot day is pretty normal in certain parts of the world, with some science to back up why; they make you sweat, which cools you off. It’s especially nice when you’re wearing a long sleeve shirt made of light fabric, hence the traditional clothing of a lot of desert nations.

    Functionally, though, if you’re in a climate controlled building, who cares. Doesn’t matter if it’s -15 outside if it’s 20 inside. Take it how you like KT xD
