Probably because iced tea quenches your thirst.. you can drink it fast, unlike hot tea. Hot tea is great when you're sick or in a chair reading, but when you're dying of thirst, the last thing you want is something hot.

Well that all depends on where you live. I think most Northerners will agree that hot tea is better And Southerners prefer iced tea. It's all what you grow up with. Maybe if we drank both all the time, we would change our minds. I know I don't like iced tea, it just doesn't taste right if it's not hot.

It could depend on the quality of the tea leaves. A good strong cup with lemon and sugar is still my very fav. Milk and sugar are a strong second with a lipton's tea bag. But ice tea is a completely different beverage from hot tea. And awfully nice too.

It depends what time of year it is for me. I love hot tea in the winter when I'm just at home doing stuff on the computer. I take Lipton Iced Tea with me to work constantly.

Some teas are better served cold. But teas like green tea is better when it's hot. I think the fruity flavors teas (apple, lemon, lychee, etc.) are good for ice tea.
Try Japanese rice green tea. It's very good to drink during the winter season :)

That's a matter of opinion, and can vary by what tea you're drinking. I like them both, but I find I can drink more kinds of tea hot than cold. Green tea is great either way, peppermint is better hot, etc.

Actually I think all hot teas taste far better than cold teas.. excepting in the extreme hot weather then any cold drink is refreshing even a bad tasting one such as Royal Cola!

Apparently, you haven't tried a good hot tea!

It is strictly a matter of opinion . Personally I enjoy both . The flavored hot teas are very soothing .
