He was from California - whichever that counts as!

Why is not tea not drunk in the south? The climate, or is it somehow just tradition?

If it's the climate, I should point out that hot tea cools you down in the long run - it tricks your body into thinking it's hotter than it really is, so your body's cooling response goes into overdrive! It may make you sweat in the short term, but it's worth it!
