I've not been able to drink tea for months until I bought a new mug cos my other one is infused with coffee stains.

It was only £1.30 but I can finally drink tea!!! 😀

Any tea is better than no tea so enjoy!

Fun fact: US Navy seamen refer to their stained mug as “seasoned”, because it starts clean at the beginning of their voyage and doesn’t get washed while they are deployed. The accumulated stain is a badge of honor showing the seaman is a seasoned sailor. Admittedly, they only use black coffee and having “milk bits” on the rim is kind of gross.

That's disgusting. Old coffee grows bacteria and fungus happily.
