Tuesday’s Tea Time

/ kellyfbarr

I love to drink tea, especially loose leaf tea. There are so many tasty kinds. In the photo above is one of my favorite mugs to drink my tea from. There are three reasons I love this mug: 1) it was handmade by a potter; 2) it holds 15 oz. of tea; and 3) the rabbit holding the sword, in the oval on the mug, is Picket Longtreader, a character from the Green Ember book series by S. D. Smith, which I am currently reading. Picket is one of my favorite characters in the series.

Reason #2 — it holds 15 oz. of tea is important because when I want to enjoy a good cup … uh, mug of tea, I like something that holds a lot of tea. Hence, why I often prefer a mug as opposed to a pretty, dainty teacup. I save my pretty, dainty teacups for tea parties and special occasions, or for when I just want to enjoy a pretty cup.

This particular mug also has a very nice, wide, easty-to-hold handle with plenty of room to get four fingers through.

But, remember, this is only one of my favorite teacups or mugs. I’ll share others in future posts.

Do you have a favorite teacup or mug? If so, what do you like about it? Feel free to share in the comments.

  1. Thanks for sharing, MJeanPike! We’ve never had a Dunkin’ Donuts near enough to my home to go very often, but I’m not a coffee drinker, so I probably wouldn’t have a Dunkin’ mug anyway. 🙂

    I did enjoy Dunkin’s donuts from time to time years ago, though.

  3. I like your rabbit mug. I have a collection of mugs I love, mugs I have picked up at interesting places I’ve visited or that were given to me as birthday gifts, or ‘just because’. I have them displayed on my coffee bar and enjoy looking at them and remembering special days. But nine times out of ten, the one I reach for is a vintage red-and-white Dunkin’ Donuts mug I bought at a garage sale. Not just because I am a Dunkin’ girl from way back. Something about the size of this mug makes the blend of coffee, sweetener and creamer come out perfect. The right mug really does make a difference!
