I get this bizarre hot feeling low down in my stomach anymore when I drink hot tea. Anyone else have this? It just seems like it would be impossible for the tea to travel that far down so quickly...

I get it too, wondered the same thing.

Maybe it just runs right through the stomach since there is no dip that can work as a reservoir for the liquid..

I haven't felt that. Maybe bc I still sip. When I drink my coffee I drink it at work and I'm drinking it super slow bc I'm working.
