Herb tea is ceremonially brewed in its own little pot that fits snugly over a cup, so the cup is always warmed up. At the moment I'm drinking loads of fennel tea harvested from the plot last year and I think this special pot is just the job for one of my crops :) A massive tall pint mug for coffee (sometimes pictured over at my place) is my favourite followed by a cat mug and a hippo mug.

Hot choc or lemon tea needs to be in a big fat mug though. My favourite mugs are ones that have memories attached (of a website/meet or just a person).

So, obviously, I have weird cup habits too, although my china isn't as posh as yours. Every morning, Pete makes latte. His is served in a black and white cup and saucer combo; mine comes in a tall mug with the word "chocolatier" on the side. I don't love the mug but it is apparently the right one for the job. Later on I have a cup of tea, (I try to stick to one per day), and again the mug is assigned by Pete. I do have a favourite mug (with sheep on), but it only seems to get used if the big chunky Kelloggs mug is dirty. If I drink herb tea, it comes in a mug that says Brain Surgeon on it. Oh you freak.

If at home on my own I use a white bone china mug with a waist and a line drawing of a cat on it. For more people I have matching curvy mugs of various shades with cirle patterns on. Cappuccino comes in a glass Habitat cup with a metal handle as does espresso (just a smaller version). I don't drink tea - therefore no specific mug, guests can choose from a variety of company and museum mugs. The occassional hot chocolate gets a big almost round blue mug with a cupcake on it! Phew - I didn't realise how serious this was!! First coffee of the day comes in a light blue very boring straight up and down mug (this is during the week at work).
