Tea vs Coffee

I went out to lunch with my friend J.P. and afterwards she emailed me with a very interesting question. I can’t seem to find an answer on the web and have promised to check the Emily Post when I get home (yes, we have a copy of it).

Does anyone know the answer?

Is it possible to indicate to the wait staff that you want tea instead of coffee by resting your teacup on the side?

If Emily has the answer, I’ll be sure to post.

Ok, that was a pretty funny pun and completely unintentional.
