Question

Why do we feel more comfortable by drinking tea from a saucer rather than a cup?

Open in App
Solution

We prefer to sip hot tea with a saucer rather than a cup it is because the saucer has large surface area compare to the cup,so the hot tea cools faster in the saucer. The rate of evaporation depends upon the suface area. More the area , more the evaporation. ... This makes the tea a little cold and we r able to drink it.
