Found this teacup by the side of the road and it's the perfect size for a strong morning tea (slrpnk.net)

white teacup that is narrower than your average coffee mug and slightly taller with an opening that curves outward generously. there is a low detail line drawing of what looks like an old brick building on the mug. unrelated, the cup sits on a table with coloured pencil crayons and paper.

I've gotten cups from thrift stores, but for some reason this bothers me. It's a cool cup though, I get it.

    So random someone made a teacup that holds an exact single serving of tea...

    So jelly, I haven't found a quality cup in at least a year. Thrift stores here are just LACKING. Texas had way better scrounging opportunities....grumble...

    Roadside teacup?! Incredible that it isn't broken, nice find! What kind of tea? "Strong morning tea" makes me think some kind of black tea blend like a breakfast tea

    Thank you for engaging with my content 🙇🏻 I left out that it was sitting in a box of items for give away so not quite dredged out of the gutter haha.

    For teas any black tea steeped for five+ minutes. I try to get the fancy fair trade stuff but it's usually too refined for my palate, so I get the rainforest certified name brand orange pekoes, breakfasts, etc.

    I wish I could find a real fair trade tea that was just actually garbage. Like sweepings that hit you over the head with bitter tannins. But alas.
