This is my 7th mug from Mystic Monk and like the other 6, they are great. The oldest one I have is 5 years old and still looks like new. Unless you get one of the solid colored ones (red or black) they will vary from one to the next which is nice. They are still complimentary to each other, but retaining a bit of individuality. I can't recommend them highly enough. If you are on the fence, just get it; you won't regret it!
