  Hold them in separate hands. To hold the tea cup,
  place your index finger through the handle, then
  put your thumb on top of the handle, resting your
  middle finger on the bottom of the handle. The
  saucer will be held under your cup while you take
  small sips of the tea.
• Do Not clink your spoon while stirring!
• Dont sip the tea with your spoon, set it on the
  saucer gently.
