how people can order and drink “extra hot” coffee and not burn their mouths?

If I’m getting 2nd degree burns in my mouth, how aren’t they? How is their skin/tongue/mucus membrane able to withstand something mine can’t?

My grandmother would do this. She’d order extra hot tea, and start drinking it right away.

But she also had a habit of sending food back to the kitchen because it wasn’t seasoned right, or it tasted bland.

She went to a doctor to discuss this. The doctor said that the extreme heat from her tea was dulling or actually damaging/killing her taste buds.

So how do people not burn their mouths? The answer is, sometimes, they DO. And they don’t realize it.
