Answer 1

The tea might have been at a higher temperature initially if you poured boiling water directly over a packet. Coffee might have cooled off already if it was brewed slowly in machine where it drips or flows out. You can use a thermometer to check. Either that or you’re adding different amounts of cool milk.
