Not true. If you formed a closed loop with your finger, through the handle, you could lift it up. This would work even if the loop had a gap which was narrower than the thinnest part of the handle. The cup would rotate around the finger so that some of the contents would spill out, but that is not relevant to the question.

Without friction, it would be challenging to grip the cup of tea securely, and it might slip from your hand due to the lack of frictional force providing a counteracting force to your grip. This could result in difficulty picking up the cup or holding it steadily.
