Is it etiquette to point your pinkie up when drinking tea?

Answer 1

No, it isn't good etiquette to point your pinkie, or little finger, anywhere at all when drinking tea. It is considered bad manners.

Put your index finger through the handle up to the second joint, your thumb outside the handle, while your second finger helps support the handle from underneath.

Just let your third (ring finger) and fourth (little finger or pinkie) fingers rest naturally without pointing them anywhere.

Answer 2

Only if the cup is little and I feel a little European that day.
