This feels so zen, I really like it. Only thing I would change is to put the tea cup on an upper or lower third, this is just a little too close to centered. Oh and getting rid of the shadow would be good too, but it's not a major distraction,
I like the way you used coffee or coffee like material as your background and give good contrast to the image. Initially gave a 7. But I changed my mind. + 1

this photograph is beautiful in its simplicity. you make me want to have that cup of tea. great job, striking composition. i like your earthy tonal colors.
Very simple and, in the spirit of the orient, very ordered. The milk and bubbles is a bit distracting, but it also creates a nice color tone to contrast to the leaves. The orange cup stripe is fantastic.
