Unbeknownst to us, we have already entered the last month of the lunar year.
In this final month before welcoming the Spring Festival, many people are planning to acquire some new items to usher in a fresh start and bring good fortune.
For tea enthusiasts, preparing some coasters for guests is both courteous and cost-effective, making it a highly economical choice.
The selection of coasters also requires attention to coordination. Here are 10 coaster options, with their advantages summarized for you!

Ceramic Coaster
A coaster made from coarse pottery has a simple and restrained style, with a sturdy shape. It is suitable for pairing with cups that have a low or no base. If used with slender cups, there may be a sense of instability.
