Question

Why do we prefer an hot tea in saucer than cup

Answer 1

As saucer has more surface area than the cup, evaporation takes place faster in saucer. So tea becomes cold. That is the reason why we prefer saucer

Answer 2

Because in a saucer, the surface is broad comparing to cup and here rate of evaporation is greater. Hence we are able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup.
