Glasses, cups and saucers

Tea and coffee here is usually served in transparent mugs.


Ruth, this MIGHT explain why some Chinese people have the strange practice of drinking hot tea from glasses... in fact, they may be wondering why strange English glasses don't have handles.

Hot tea and coffee is also drunk from cups and saucers.

The tea (or coffee) is usually poured into the saucer and then drunk from the saucer. It's amazing how many things we take for granted... that basic items like glasses, cups and saucers are used the same way throughout the world.
