The Green Flower Coffee Cup and Saucer Set


 this is what we call a coffee shop cup and saucer set. Most people will call it the green flower set and this coffee shop crockery is actually made in China a long time ago for south East Asian countries. Today many of these green flower sets are made in Thailand.

The ubiquitous coffee cup set are well loved by coffee drinkers. The saucer is quite deep. A grandfather would pour a bit of the sweet coffee into the saucer for his grandchild to drink. However ideally a man could pour his coffee from the cup into the saucer to cool the drink. I have seen many men do that. so it is really a practical thing to have a cup and saucer set.

Besides, if you do look at the place where coffee is made you can see all the cups in a special trough filled with hot water. This special aluminium trough could have been a innovation by as coffee shop owner to keep the cups hot and clean!! But then again, serving coffee in hot cups really help to keep the drink warm. So you can actually nurse your cup of coffee over a longer period of time while you chat with your buddies.

Coffee shops are really great places for you to relax and enjoy your fellowship.
