I normally go for thick ceramic mugs, but I really love the pattern on this.

Thick ceramic is normally my preferred mug for coffee. How privileged I sound. 🙂

I guess the same goes for me too. I have different cups/mugs for different drinks. 🙂

This is why I wished I could drink tea. On days when things are going sideways, a cup of tea seems to help stabilize the world 🙂

Some teas are definitely more drinkable than others. I have a fairly limited tea palate, which seems to work for me.

A good mug of chi or just coffee makes my soul happy 😊

Funny you say that. For three days in a row I‘ve „restarted“ to have a large mug of tea in the evening. The beginning of cooler days to come. Love your mug too!

I so agree, Su. The cup is lovely. I believe that with tea, a china cup allows you to get the full taste of the tea much more than a ceramic mug. Ceramic stands up to coffee better because coffee is so strong compared to tea. But many teas have a very delicate flavor best savored in china.

Thank you Janet. That makes such sense. It’s only in the last few years I’ve started to buy good quality loose leaf teas rather than supermarket teabags, and I probably wouldn’t have noticed a difference. I like tea from the biggest vessel I can find, and that tends to be mugs rather than fine china.

I like that your glasses look like they match your mug, which is very pretty.

I need to remember to drink more tea when feeling stressed. In a bone china mug even. Good advice, beautiful photo.

Thank you. I think for me part of the relaxation comes from the fact that I’ve done away with teabags, so I have to go through the process of brewing the tea in a pot. Just the extra time spent seems to help.

My apologies to both Reflections of an untidy mind and Su! I thought my above comment was going with Su’s comment. Might not make sense in location that it wound up. 🤪 But I still love those colours! 🥰

The design is inspired by William Morris. I guess that’s what attracted me.

Love the mug!! And would have guessed it to be a William Morris design of you hadn’t said so in your last reply. 😉 I bought my mum some lovely china cups printed with his Strawberry Thief design which is one of my favourites. He was such an exceptional artist!
