Mugs and cups

The journey of the teacup

The history of the teacup spans 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, which revolutionized cup design for handling hot drinks.

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

The selection of teacups at Nordic Tea

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

Teacups with a handle

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

Teacups without a handle

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

Teacups with a lid

We also offer teacups with a lid, which retain the tea's warmth and aroma as well as intensify the taste experience. The teacups with lids are ideal for slow brewing of tea, and they ensure that each cup of tea is enjoyed at the optimal temperature and with maximum depth of flavor.

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 solid ceramic or porcelain cup, while delicate green tea is best enjoyed in thinner, finer teacups.
• Consider the brewing method: The brewing method also plays a role. A teacup with a lid can be ideal for slow infusion, while an open cup is better for faster-brewed teas.
• Maintenance and care of teacups: To ensure a longer lifespan and preserve the beauty of the teacup, it is important to treat it with care. Wash the teacups gently by hand instead of in the dishwasher and avoid the use of harsh scouring agents. Also, store your teacups in a safe place where they are not at risk of being bumped or damaged.
