Question

why do we prefer to sip hot tea with a saucer rather than a cup?

Answer 1

We prefer to sip tea from a saucer rather than a cup becoz as we drop the tea into the saucer, the hot gets a large surface area for it to cool down which makes it easier for us to drink it.

Answer 2

Explanation:

this is because saucer has more surface area than a cup. increase in surface area leads to increase in evaporation as a result tea becomes cooler faster then in cup.
