I think plain tea taste yuck cold too, but flavoured like cranberry with a little sweetner, like honey is nice cold with ice.
 
room temperature is soooo gross! but when its hot its completely different, why is this?

and people have ice tea too, so why are extremes of temperature nicer in drinks?
 
Ice tea is nice because it's very sweet. Drinking ice cold plain tea would also taste gross. I think temperature has a lot to do with taste because essentially tea is just infused water so isn't really the most flavoured-packed cup, so i believe half of the pleasure of tea comes from the comfort of the hot beverage, not necessarily the actual flavour of the tea.
