tea, is served in dainty little cups - made of fine bone english china. they are pretty, dainty & fragile. when an old teacup cracks it becomes even more charming, often more valuable.

coffee, on the other hand, is served in a mug. usually made of ceramics, plastic or paper - these mugs are heavy, clunky and often littered with logo's, advertising or funny faces. they are indestructible, dishwasher safe and ofttimes disposable.

sometimes, I crave the ritual of tea. Such a thoughtful and deliberate ceremony.

I do not think it crass or uncouth to sip tea from a pretty little pink teacup
fresh in from the garden, with dirty fingernails and a sweaty brow
I would like to sit outside, in the sunshine, admire my garden and
drink tea from a pretty little cup.

Coffee works fine in dainty little porcelain cups; using a coffee press to make the coffee and adding sugar and milk into the glass and stirring can be a bit of a ritual, different from tea but not all that different.
ReplyDeleteA shot of espresso is often served in a smaller cup, although it's kind of a small mug more than a dainty tea cup.
When I was served cappuccino in Rome it was in a nice dainty porcelain cup. I found it a little easier to sip with the thinner cup too.
True but not quite the same
