We prefer to sip hot tea with a saucer rather than a cup it is because the saucer has large surface area compare to the cup,so the hot tea cools faster in the saucer. The rate of evaporation depends upon the suface area. ... This makes the tea a little cold and we r able to drink it.

Hey!

Answer => Hot tea from saucer

Reason- We know that, Evaporation rate increases if surface area is increased.

When we drink tea from saucer , many water particles evaporate in less time, and as evaporation causes cooling, tea will get warm enough to be drunk while it's opposite in case of cup.

So, it's easier and comfortable to drink hot tea in saucer rather than a cup.
