By the 24th century, Starbucks is but a distant memory, and with it the concept of different size servings of tea or coffee. You want tea, you get a standard sized cup of tea. No options.
However, iced tea does still exist, thus the need to specify "hot".
The bigger question is, why didn't the designers of the replicators implement some sort of user preference or macro function. We know they have voice recognition technology, it should be pretty simple to have "tea" spoken by Picard default to a hot cup of earl gray.
