Review on Newk Coasters: High-absorbency with Unique Patterns by Brian Cooper

Great coasters! The patterns are very pretty and the colors are strong. I live in South Texas where it's been hot for over half a year so my glasses "sweat" quite a bit. I didn't know the coasters I had were that bad. These coasters absorb condensation or "sweat" from your mug. I don't get a puddle to pour out, it's just dry. Is the surface texture of these coasters like rough china? The texture is matte so it absorbs liquid. These coasters are 4" in diameter and 1/4" thick. On their underside is a thin layer of cork, the width of which is almost the same as that of the stand itself. They come with a metal bracket to store them when not in use. I highly recommend them and they make great gifts too.
