The top of it is angled fairly steeply, giving it a pretty broad range that it fits. But it's tall enough that you'd want a mug, not a teacup. Very pleased with this solution, I must say. I'll likely switch to it even when I get back home for those times when I'm the only one having tea.

Meanwhile, another cup of Pride of Port this afternoon. That's three big mugs full today, and at least 3 cans of Diet Coke avoided. Which is a good thing.

To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and the living
In search of the answers to questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
Part of beginning to understand

Aye, Calypso, the places you’ve been to
The things that you’ve shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well

Like the dolphin who guides you
You bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide
And free as the wind-swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be

Aye, Calypso, the places you’ve been to
The things that you’ve shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well

From the red and golden forests of Japan to the deep blue of the Micronesian seas... After another mug of Keemun tea I'll go an pack my gear for a few days chasing the pretty fishies! See you all when I return!

What??????

The only Gloria Jean's shop in Hanoi was really far from my place, and even so, it was closed, without any warning!! It was replaced with Espressamente Illy (they serve coffee in tiny cups - not my favorite style). No Starbucks, nothing!!

I envy you, too

I saw a few in Amazon, but I think I want to go to the shops to see actual size and try it with a few mugs. Thanks for the great idea.

Thanks. Yes, I found this too I hoped you might have found the same tea as on pics. There is no guarantee that it is really the same tea. Although the caddy itself might be worth buying it English Breakfast differs from Afternoon.

Are you hunting for a good strainer?

I saw the one CRussel posted and looked at a couple on Amazon. I think I want to check some out in the shops to see what the size really is and how it would work in one of my mugs. I use to use one for single cups of coffee a long time ago and didn't know that there were some for tea.

Finishing up the last of my Kona in my cup.

Neat... is that swirl sugar then?

Google Translate let me read:

http://ione.net/tin-tuc/do-tu-che/be...-het-biet.html

Gotta love some of the comments after translation, for example the first comment says : "if boiled sweet corn to have not lost the baby"
