I am less of a tea snob (PG TIPS Pyramid bags for me) but i am definitely a mug snob. The mug has to be perfect. Unless it is Earl Grey and then it has to be a bone china tea-cup. Morning mug has to be my 1 pint mug. Yes. I pint! Afternoon tea has to be the hand made pottery one. Oh yes. This is a most important subject. Glad you brought it up. A🙏😊
