A Mug For Every Occasion

Following on from my post all about the teas that I currently like to drink - you can read that here - I felt that it was only fitting to carry on the theme with a post all about the mugs that I choose to drink it out of.

For me there is a mug for every occasion! You don't want to drink your morning tea from the same mug you would drink your quick cuppa before rushing off somewhere. It just doesn't have the same feel. Some people are fussy with the kinds of cups or mugs that their beverage comes from. My mum, for example will only drink her tea from a china cup - which I will show you further on in this post - whereas I don't mind what the item is made from I look more for style, feel of it in my hand and the size.

Morning Cuppa

For me there is no better way to start the day than with a big mug of tea. I have a wonderfully sturdy mug that I bought in Anthropologie when I was visiting London last year. I love how much tea this mug can hold and it is perfect for curling up and contemplating the beginning of each day.

Afternoon Cuppa

Having a cup of tea in the afternoon requires a nice medium sized mug, anything too big and I will be overwhelmed by the amount - that and it raises my temperature too much. For this I like to pick between a couple of mugs, usually medium sized ones that fit comfortably in the hand and I can curl up with. Whereas, on the other hand my mum won't use anything but her china tea cup that I bought her from Anthropologie - as seen below.

Night Time Cuppa

At night it's nice to have a tall mug that can hold a substantial amount but not so much that you feel full of liquid but enough that you feel the cares of the days can melt away and can wind you down for a relaxing evening. I like tall, dark mugs - like this grey one from Ikea. The dark colour and the size is soothing for this time of night and allows me to relax.

What About You?
