Leaf: My sister Guin gave a pretty teacup to all the sisters and my mama for Christmas this year filled with notes and chocolates. This one travelled wrapped in clothes in my backpack (and survived- hooray!). This is my first cup of tea in it. (Pranburi, Thailand)

Rae: Piles of bamboo cups for Thai infusions in the walking street market. I just had one for the first time with Leafy and Solo the other night. (Pai, Thailand)
