LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this tea cup but where can you actually buy them,I think this would be an awesome gift for preople who love their teas, I probably would like to get a couple of sets of them.
It’s kind of a pointless design, really. As someone else already pointed out, you can just ***Loop The String Around The Handle***.
Adding the notch is just a superfluous feature that detracts from the aesthetics and adds a piece that could easily be damaged or break off.
It may the novelty to invoke the response “Oh, isn’t that clever”, but a little thought shows that its an unnecessary feature. I’m sure that anyone that drinks tea using teabags has long realized the string around the handle trick.
This may be smart until the little tooth breaks off then you have a drinking hazard. I agree with some of the folks above: tie it around the handle or brew it properly in a pot.
Heya i am for the first time here. I came across this board and I find It really
useful & it helped me out a lot. I hope to
give something back and help others like you aided me.

All I am drinking right now is loose leaf but this mug has inspired me to buy some bagged tea.

Of course, tea should never be brewed or drunk like this. Proper tea should always be brewed in a teapot…. :-)

I have been looking for something like this! I hate it when the tea label falls in the cup when you are pouring the tea.
