Mugs and cups

The journey of the teacup

The history of the teacup stretches across continents and centuries. Originally the teacup was created in China without a handle. In Japan, matcha bowls became central to the traditional tea ceremony, while Europe introduced the handle, revolutionizing cup design for handling hot beverages.

Today, tea mugs reflect a fusion of these global cultures with a diversity of styles from traditional to modern.

The range of teacups at Nordic Tea

At Nordic Tea, we have carefully put together a selection of tea cups and mugs that are both practical and aesthetic. We have tea cups in several sizes – both small 25 cl and the larger 40 cl tea cups.

Tea cups with handle

For those who prefer the classic approach, we offer teacups with handles. These teacups combine traditional elegance with practical functionality. They are made from high-quality materials such as fine porcelain and ceramic, making them an ideal companion to your daily tea routine.

Teacups without handles

Inspired by Eastern tea traditions, we also have a selection of tea mugs without handles. These tea mugs offer a more direct and earthy tea experience, where you can feel the heat of the tea through the cup. They are perfect for those who enjoy drinking tea in a more meditative and reflective way.

Teacups with lids

We also offer teacups with lids, which retain the heat and aroma of the tea and intensify the taste experience. The teacups with lids are ideal for slow brewing tea, and they ensure that each cup of tea is enjoyed at the optimum temperature and with maximum depth of flavour.

How to choose the perfect teacup

Choosing the right teacup is a personal choice that should reflect your style, favorite tea and preferred brewing method.

• Match the teacup with your personal style: Consider your personal aesthetic. Do you prefer classic elegance or a modern expression? Choose a teacup that reflects your personal style and complements your tea ritual.
• Choose a teacup according to the type of tea: Different teas thrive in different types of teacups. For example, a robust black tea is often best in a sturdy ceramic or porcelain cup, while delicate green teas are best enjoyed in thinner, finer teacups.
• Consider the brewing method: The brewing method also plays a role. A lidded teacup may be ideal for slow infusion, while an open cup is better for faster brewed teas.
• Maintenance and care of teacups: To ensure a longer life and preserve the beauty of the teacup, it is important to treat it with care. Wash the teacups carefully by hand instead of in the dishwasher and avoid using harsh scouring agents. Also store your teacups in a safe place where they are not at risk of being bumped or damaged.
