Difference between coffee cup and tea cup
A coffee cup or tea cup that includes a saucer and cup.
Although they look the same at first glance, there are actually differences in shape, etc.
A cup that allows you to enjoy more flavor and aroma.
Coffee extraction temperature is relatively low at 80-95℃, so the key is to create a shape that increases heat retention.
For this reason, the cup is often tall and thick overall.
A cup made to enhance the taste.
Black tea is brewed using boiling water over 95 degrees Celsius, so the key is to cool it down a little to make it easier to drink.
For this reason, drinks are often made with a wide mouth and a thin cup.
How to choose a coffee cup
1. The capacity is generally 120-180ml
A regular coffee cup with a saucer is about 120 to 180 ml.
It's the perfect size for your morning drink.
When you want to drink a lot, such as while working or watching a movie, we recommend using a mug.
2. Also check the thickness of the rim (spout)
If you often drink dark roasted, rich coffee, we recommend a cup with a thick rim.
Coffee does not get cold easily, so it is perfect for enjoying coffee over time.
On the other hand, if you often drink light roasted coffee, a cup with a thin rim is recommended.
How to choose a teacup
1. It is stylish if there is a pattern on the inside of the cup
If there is a pattern on the inside of the cup, it will be nice to see the pattern through the tea.
It is also useful when serving tea to guests as it adds a gorgeous impression.
2. Wide mouth and shallow form
If the drinking spout is wide, piping hot black tea will reach the right temperature quickly, making it easier to drink and taste better.
Also, the aroma spreads when you put the cup to your mouth, so you can fully enjoy the charm of black tea.
