Coaster

[Noonie]

Anyone use a coaster with their tea cup?

[Chip]

YES! Virtually every time. I usually use chataku. Sometimes I use unconventional items for coasters as well ...

[debunix]

Yes. I set my cups on a lot of surfaces that are easily scratched. Sometimes there's a placemat, sometimes a coaster of one sort or another.

I usually had coasters where I end up drinking my tea, but carrying the cup there was the challenge as it was hot. Until a recent O-Cha purchase I had been using small cups with handles, but my new cup doesn't have a handle.

Regarding the coaster, I see it as a new teaware item to research and purchase...so a bonus!

My cups are always on something, be it a Tea Table or a coaster. Something is always around.

I do not have coasters bought specifically for my tea brewing though.

does using a saucer count?

My cup of choice right now is an western style teacup with saucer. Though I have chinese cast iron cup as well, also with a leaf-shaped saucer, but since I'm experimenting right now, and it's black on the inside of the cup, I'm using the other one cause it's white lol.

At home, no. In the office, I've been using the same folded up paper towel for coming on two years now...
