The Teacups Are Exceptional Today
Whether it’s referred to as chai, cha, té or simply a “cuppa”, tea is the energizing tipple of choice for billions around the globe. Warm up to the idea of serving the tea with our four favorite Mad Hatter-worthy teacups.
Double-Walled Glass Mug
Glass is an affordable alternative to fine-bone china, and a double-walled glass mug works twice as well. Providing an insulating vacuum that keeps your tea piping hot, this cup has the added bonus of looking pretty cool.
Chinese Teacups
When brewing good quality green tea, learn from the best. Chinese tea brewed in the gong-fu style uses super small cups in order for the tea to be enjoyed as it evolves, allowing you pick up fruity and earthy notes as the brew gains complexity over time.
Ceramic Coffee Mug
An oldie but goodie, a ceramic coffee mug will always do in a pinch. Make due with what you’ve got, you know? That said, tea really deserves to brew at a high temperature — if your cup is cold, swirl some boiling water around inside it before you pour.
Fine Bone China
The queen of tea-serving materials, fine bone china is distinct in its design and function. Ultra-thin to keep your tea warmer for longer, there’s nothing quite like a fine bone china teacup to make you feel like you’ve made it.
