What is the difference between room temperature and hot black tea? Is room temperature just as strong?

I was wondering if my black tea cooled to room temperature because it sat out for too long, what would be the difference between drinking it hot? Would it be just as strong (as in would it make me feel just as awake as if I had drank it hot)?

Also, does the strength of black tea wear off as time goes by?

Thanks.

The strength of tea depends how long you keep your teabag in the water or how many bags you put. Tea doesn’t really infuse in non-hot water. Once you take the teabag out of the water, the strength of the tea is the same hot or cold.
