We prefer to sip hot tea with a saucer rather than a cup it is because the saucer has large surface area compare to the cup,so the hot tea cools faster in the saucer.Verified answer
The rate of evaporation depends upon the suface area. More the area , more the evaporation. So, by putting the tea in the saucer, we r increasing the area and thereby increasing the evaporation. This makes the tea a little cold and we r able to drink it. In the cup, evaporation will take place but at a lower pace as the surface area is comparitively less.
