I had been secretly covetous of these teacups when in T2, but didn't buy one as a) I couldn't decide on a colour (they're all so pretty) and b) it felt extravagant as I have plenty of vessels with which to drink tea. But when it's a gift.... (thanks Thomas and co.!) problem solved :)
And it really makes such a difference to drink tea from something as beautiful as this. Yes, it takes longer, but it is far more calming and beneficial to the soul than simply a teabag in a mug.
