Beverages & Materials

Indeed, porcelain is the golden standard for tea- and coffee-drinking vessels, though various drinks suit better with specific materials. Glass would be perfect for juices, sodas, and cold beverages because it does not react with the drink inside, showing its color and clarity. But when it comes to hot drinks, ceramic and porcelain are the rulers because of their insulation properties. Bone china is a type of porcelain that incorporates bone ash and is valued for its strength, whiteness, and translucency—there's nothing better to serve light-bodied teas and delicate infusions in. Stoneware, sometimes with its rustic charm, lends itself well to heartier drinks like rich cocoas and creamy lattes.

Practical Tips

Following are some additional tips for getting the most from your fine porcelain drinkware:

• Preheat your mug with hot water to keep drinks hotter for longer, especially in cold weather.
• Match your drinkware with a saucer to catch drips and for an elegant resting spot for used tea bags or coffee spoons.
• Tea drinkers love to sip from a teacup with a tapered rim for it aerates the tea at the sip, enhancing flavor and aroma.
• Choose from various drinkware sizes—a small cup is perfect for espresso, while larger mugs are ideal for those who enjoy their drink in generous portions. 
• Don't change the temperature drastically as it may crack your porcelain: avoid pouring boiling water into a cold mug, and let pieces cool before refrigerating.
