Having tea in a tea glass with its matching saucer has been customary in the Middle East among tea lovers for a long time. People would either rest the tea glass in the saucer or pour the tea in the saucer which in turn helped the hot drink cool down quicker. Practice of pouring tea in the saucer has become obsolete over the years and is now only popular among elderly. Meanwhile having the saucer under the tea glass has still been very popular among many Iranians including the younger generation. Maybe it is more of a nostalgia for them than anything else!!
