I like to drink tea, my problem is that the stain left in the cup ,I have never used a T Pot, so my question is does the cup still stain if the Tea is made (Using T Bags) in a TEA Pot or does it make no difference to the cup.
What have ABers found the best way to remove Tea stains.

No difference whatsoever.
The best way to prevent tea stains is to wash the cup up after use instead of leaving it to fester. To remove stains, add a dash of Domestos, but make sure you rinse it out thoroughly before attempting to drink from it again.
when I rinse the cup I just give it a quick rub with a pot scourer
Nobody in this house drinks tea...but salt on a damp cloth rubbed inside the cup/mug will shift stains. Don't use bleach!
Denture cleaning tablets work really well taking stains off mugs. And less likely to kill you than bleach. ;-)

It tends to be the cheaper ceramic mugs that get stained. A nice china cup or Denby mug is much easier to keep clean.
if your mug is e/ware then it probably will stain more easily than if it is s/ware. the glaze on s/ware is much harder.
salt works and won't flavour the tea. DO NOY use domestos or bleach I mean really don't do it!!
I'm with SlinkyKate, a nylon scourer does the trick.
I once worked with a chap who would only rinse his mug under the tap and leave it to drain, a new cleaner saw his mug and gave it a good clean, when the bloke saw it he went ape and said the tea never tasted the same. No prizes for guessing he was single.
baza, that sounds like my sisters ex, I cleaned his favourite mug once - it looked like new and there was blue murder and grumblings for days about his mug being cleaned.
In answer to the op, I soak mine in milton or any sterilising fluid once a week
A little old lady told me that denture cleaning tablets are good for getting rid of tea stains and descaling kettles, not tried it as I still have my own teeth.
