I much prefer loose tea, well brewed, however, cup #4 is really beautiful and elegant, with a zen-like simplicity. Why not up the pleasure of a cup of bagged tea? $20 isn't so much for something you'd enjoy over and over. I partially disagree with you SniffTX.

It is just the right size to fit under the hot water dispenser at work, and it is shaped similarly to the one I mentioned above. I think the handle is key. It has to feel good in your hand.... I do have a handle-less one at home that is a 2nd favorite. I bought it from a local ceramic artist. The nice thing about it is that it is extra thick and holds heat well, which is also why it works as a handle-less cup. It is so well insulated, it does not burn my hands when I hold it.

I'm from Australia and my pet peeve with American cups (for coffee or tea) is that they are simply too big. What do you use to drink your tea? I'd be very interested to know... Good point.

I love the look of several of these. #3 glass cup and saucer seems the most practical to me. It appears thick enough and shaped to retain heat, isn't that expensive, and focuses on the tea, not the vessel. #4, while lovely, seems silly to me. Tea lovers know that tea sold in bags is the cheap stuff. I drink it all the time for convenience sake, but why would I spend $20 for a mug to hold cheap tea? My husband and I are bigtime tea lovers.
