I think it may have started in England, although I'm not sure why. Overconsumption is so typically American.But I love big mugs of tea. Making an actual tea cup's worth of the beverage hardly seems worth the effort. If I'm going to drink tea, I want at least 10 oz., but typically it's more like 20 oz.
Why is this? I think that part of it is that the amount of tea imbibed is directly proportional to the amount of time one must sit to drink it. Hence, the larger the mug, the more time I spend on the couch in the morning, sipping and leisurely watching TV or reading a book. Does this make me late for work? Definitely. But I think it's worth it. The only question is whether future employers will appreciate the sentiment.
