A light Friday post. What is your go to mug for tea drinking? And do you use a teabag or loose tea with a strainer or teapot?

I’m a bit of a collector. This is my current favourite, by Hornsea Pottery.

This is my favourite. White inside and a decent size (0.4l).

I use tea leaves first thing (Yorkshire or Booth's if I'm feeling fancy), then bags (also Yorkshire) for the rest of the day!

My favourite is my iitala mug too! You’re right about it being a decent size. I have a Different design though, but I do have the design of your mug in bowl form 😄

@PegDope curious why you can’t drink black tea with thyroid issues?

Floranan · 19/09/2025 22:56

This is what I’m drinking now, I like a cup of tea and my book when I come to beds, this is my wrendale mug.

during the day I tend to prefer a cup and saucer bur find a mug is easier in bed

loose tea with a tea pot here

Never tea. Only coffee.

Omg I have this on a coaster 🤣

Here is mine. It’s from John Lewis. I like a bone china mug and not one of these modern buckets that weigh a ton and make you feel guilty because you can’t manage the bottom half litre of tea. These mugs used to come with gold and silver handles but nowadays only come in blue, pink or plain. I miss my gold handled mug.
When alone, I drink my ‘funny tea’ as DH calls it. That might be Lady Grey or peppermint. But when DH is around its builders. This is Tetley. We would usually have Yorkshire but something has gone awry with that recently - it doesn’t taste right, so we are working our way through the supermarket shelf. Tetley is ok-ish.
This is not much of a Friday night.

@Trendyname This is the other side. Everyone in this park is revoltingly active.

You seem like good people. I need a teapot recommendation, can anyone help?

Oh yes maybe this will be my next post!

Mine with Yorkshire tea

Haha, just realised I'd seen one of these before. Brilliant!

SomeLikeitSnot · 19/09/2025 16:30

This is my current fave- I pretend the kids bought it for me but I actually just got it for myself as I loved it 🤣

I've realised I don't have a favourite mug. We just use the service given to us for a wedding present 25 years ago (Denby) which is still going strong. I think I may need an argument for purchasing a new (few) favourite mugs...🤔

Thank you to the PP who mentioned Sophie Allport...there are some lovely ones there...MIL has been on the look out for a large, thin mug for her tea...'none of those tiny mugs mind; it has to be a bucket'...so I feel a purchase coming on!!

This is my favourite mug, it is slightly curved towards the top so keeps the tea warmer for longer. I have the matching teapot and milk jug but rarely use them just for myself but they look good together on the shelf.

Teabags. Can't show my favourite mug as it has photos of one of my previous foster children on it, it was a gift for my 60th birthday and it makes me smile every day.

Tend to use teabags these days but prefer loose tea, however it is always, always made in the pot. Love my chicken mug.

Looks like a great size and shape!!! I hate chickens though 😂

Imabitbusyatthemoment · 19/09/2025 15:51

This is mine. Fine bone china from Bodleian Library.

I mean it too.
