Deseret News use the word “hot” in relation to beverages. Not sure where you are seeing “warm” used in lieu of “hot”.

I was in TJ one time and we had some street tacos that were really strange tasting, they had to have been cat or dog meat...still makes me cringe.

But somewhere there is a Indian, or SDA cringing at us eating a cow's leg...go figure?

Years ago I had a restaurant owner relate a story of an Indian couple that complimented him on the food and they asked how they made the chicken taste so good. They had ordered chicken fried steak.

Another similar hot beverage miracle in Korea...

Seoul, KOREA; Jan. 10, 2018 – Starbucks Coffee Korea Co., a 50/50 joint venture between Starbucks Coffee International, Inc. and Shinsegae Group, celebrated the opening of Korea’s largest Starbucks store in Central Seoul near Jonggak Station in December 2017. Located in Jongro Tower, with more than 900 residents, the store sits between two of the Tower’s floors covering over 1,000 square meters (11,000 square feet). Jonggak Station serves as a gathering place for all generations of Koreans to shop, dine, work and play in a location where history and tradition of Korean culture merge with modern city amenities.
