Tea Mug With Strainer And Lid

What is the difference between tea cups and coffee cups?

Difference between a tea cup, coffee cup, and chocolate cup. ... Tea cups have a wide open rim that tapers down to a small base and the handles are designed to hook a single finger. Coffee cups have a more vertical side and a bigger handle for two or three fingers. Coffee cup is on the left and tea cup is on the right.

Why are tea cups thin?

Porcelain cups typically are narrow at the bottom and widen out at the top; this enables a better balance between heat retention and expansion of the aroma of the tea.

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.

How long can I expect to get the sample?

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.
