Getting up in the morning can be torturous. Sometimes I stumble around blindly until I have tea, and sometimes I have my cup of tea at a more civilized hour, like halfway through my work day. Either way, I don't want to fight with my tea cup. Truly, I have enough issues.
So, explain to me why the covers for your cups end up chewing into the rims and not fitting? Do you know what happens when the cover of the tea cup doesn't fit?
A damn tea mess -- that's what happens.
Please, please, please manufacture the tea cups and covers so that they actually match each other. Now, I know that some of you actually do this correctly because the brands I buy at home have covers that actually fit. But the lower end ones at the hotel continental breakfasts? The cups that people presumably want to and need to take on the road with them?
Yeah, these ones suck.
In conclusion, just because the white styrofoam cups are cheap to make doesn't mean the covers should be ill-fitting pieces of crap. I need my clothes, and I need my clothes to be tea-free. Life is tough enough without wearing my tea to work. Most of all, though, I NEED MY TEA AND I NEED IT TO STAY INSIDE THE CUP.
Thank you, cup manufacturers. Now, get right on this.
