I bought these mugs to drink tea. I don't know about you, but I like to drink my tea in a large mug and these at 17.5 oz are perfect!! I feel I am making good use of the tea bag employed to make my drink and I don't attempt to keep the bag for a second round, lol. They are easy to clean and the undulated top makes them somehow special. These are the first mugs to get used in the house... never the last ones in the cupboard as many others seem to be. I am thinking that buying two sets is the way to go!!
