Souvenir Mug No Handles

Why does tea taste better in a china mug?

Fine bone china cups do not absorb any flavors or aromas from other drinks served in them so the aromas and flavors all come from the tea. Pottery cups might absorb some flavors and aromas and therefore a bit change of overall tea experience but not necessarily always in a bad way.

How many cups is a regular coffee mug?

As Bill Wright noted in his thorough answer to this question, there isn't a firm standard for size of a “cup” of coffee. A standard fluid cup of liquid is 8 oz.; if I were measuring with that, the above mug would be something over 2 cups. Most coffeemakers use 5–6 fluid oz.

Why do mugs have handles?

The small cross section of the handle reduces heat flow between the liquid and the hand. For the same reason of thermal insulation, mugs are usually made of materials with low thermal conductivity, such as earthenware, bone china, porcelain, or glass.

What are tiny coffee cups called?

A demitasse (/?d?m?t?s/; French: "half cup") is a small cup used to serve Turkish coffee or espresso. Another type of demitasse has a glass cup set into a metal frame.

Can you match a specific color for the glaze on the mugs I am ordering?

Sorry, we cannot guarantee a perfect color match with our glazes due to the limited amount of glaze colors we have as well as the variation in the way our glazes can look on the final product due to the forces of mother nature.
