Comment on Why does tea taste different when I drink it outside?

The smell/taste senses are very closely related and cross paths in the brain somewhat.
If you ever want to freak yourself out plug your nose while you eat some of your favorite foods and only exhale slowly while chewing. It’ll taste all sorts of weird.
My guess is the smell outside is interfering with what your brain is used to from the smell inside while drinking tea.

Likely this. Temperature and humidity also affect your sense of taste and smell, plus they can affect a hot drink’s evaporation rate.
