In India's tea gardens, where summer temperatures hit 40°, chai is drunk hot throughout the afternoon.

In China's Zhejiang hills, green tea is the considered response to a sweltering July. The world's tea masters have never needed science to tell them why.

The science, it turns out, has simply caught up with ancient wisdom.

A hot cup of tea opens the pores and the body releases what it no longer needs, cooling you down.

Added to this, tea is almost entirely water, and a sensible choice to make in a heatwave.

Whether it is a cup of Dragon Well from the hills above Hangzhou or something deeper and full bodied, these teas were grown in exactly this heat.

Tea has been carrying people through summers far hotter than this one - do as they do, pour something hot, and let the body do the rest.
