What is a "teaspoon"?
A teaspoon is a small spoon typically used for stirring and sipping beverages like tea or coffee, as well as for adding sugar, cream, or other condiments to drinks or dishes.

Teaspoons are essential components of flatware sets and are often made from materials such as stainless steel, silver, or plastic. They come in various designs, ranging from simple and functional to decorative and ornate.
