Which us safer to use as tea cup- a thick-walled cup or a thin-walled cup? with reason
Answers
Every Sherlock needs a Watson. And every tea, a good tea cup! From the time a tea leaf gets plucked from the shrub, every little thing it comes in contact with alters its taste and quality. The last step in this journey from plant to serveware is the cup itself, so it’s time you took a closer look at what is in your hands and how it’s affecting your tea drinking experience.
What are the qualities of good tea serveware?
It should be non-porous: Simply because a porous material will hold in different flavours and aromas; all detrimental to the taste of the tea you drink.
It should allow the tea to cool slowly: A cup with a wide rim cools tea faster, while a tall, narrow one keeps it hot longer and concentrates the aroma. Thin cups lose heat faster while ceramic retains heat longer than glass.
It should have a thin lip: It is essential that your chosen tea cup have a thin lip so that the drink can roll off the cup’s edge and onto your tongue more easily.
It should be safe chemically: While we do not recommend plastic cups, if you must use them, ensure that they are BPA (bisphenol A) free.
Thick walled Cup is more safer to use as a teacup.
● This is because to enjoy the flavour and Aroma of tea, it should retain heat for a long time.
● Thick walled ceramic Cup can retain heat for longer time then when compared to thin Walled Cup or a glass tumbler.
