Artisan Glass Teacups
You carefully steep your tea, watching the leaves paint the steaming water shades of golden yellow, deep green, amber, etc. While exciting your palate, tea can also entice your sight thanks to its rich and vibrant colors.
I often like to extend tea’s visual performance beyond the bird’s eye view of the mug by pouring it into a glass tea cup. These delicate vessels let you appreciate the color and clarity of tea.
Double walled cups made from Borosilicate glass are the sturdiest of the group, more heat resistant and often illuminate the tea within. Other glass beauties are hand blown by artisans and truly one-of-a-kind pieces.
Tea Party Tip: Select a few teas that transform the steaming water into a variety of colors and serve them in glass teacups. Treat your guests to a tea experience that excites all of their senses, especially their sight.
