tea stain
Mug's brown mark
A tea stain is the brownish discoloration left when tea dries on fabric, paper, or other surfaces: I couldn't get the tea stain out of the tablecloth.
Tea stains are notoriously stubborn.
The term extends to similar brownish marks from tannins in other substances.
As a verb, to tea stain is to deliberately age paper or fabric for a vintage appearance: She tea-stained the invitations to give them an antique look.
