These are imperative for any hot black or green tea lower.Being a hot tea expert I was looking for these kind of glasses for two years and this is why.First, ability to control the tea strength by visual monitoring the darkness of the tea.My crave for the tea strength vary per time of the day or week day. I like stronger tea in the morning.Second, these are made of the 'statement' crystal glass which looks luxury and impressive.I purchased Turkish made 'armut' type of glasses here on Amazon before and was disappointed.Those were a way thinner in impressive. This glasses are shiny and the real crystal.Third, the pricing is reasonable.Apparently one can find a cheaper version. However in a longer run these are better investment.Social status of a family in Soviet Russia was gauged by amount of crystaldisplayed in the house. These glasses definitely would take your household to the next social level there and would make a difference.
