Does black tea cool more quickly than white or with milk as it is often called?

* The type of tea doesn't fundamentally affect how quickly it cools. The rate of cooling is primarily determined by factors like:

* Initial temperature: Hotter tea will take longer to cool.

* Volume: Larger volumes of tea will take longer to cool.

* Surface area: A wider, shallower container will cool faster than a narrow, deep one.

* Ambient temperature: A colder room will lead to faster cooling.

* Milk *can* affect cooling slightly. Milk has a higher specific heat capacity than water, meaning it takes more energy to raise its temperature. This means a cup of tea with milk will cool slightly *slower* than a cup of plain tea, but the difference is likely not noticeable.

So, to answer your question directly:

* Black tea doesn't inherently cool faster than white tea.

* Milk can slightly *slow down* the cooling process.

However, the differences are small and likely wouldn't be noticeable in everyday situations.
