Why you'll love it
A tasting cup with presence
This black tea cup stops you mid-morning. The silver relief catches light like a quiet conversation, turning your tea moment into something worth pausing for. It's the kind of piece that makes you slow down, taste better, and feel a little more intentional about what you're drinking. That matters, believe me.
What makes it special
Ceramic crafted for tea lovers
Matte black ceramic with a silver embossed print-no gloss, no fuss, just honest material. The silver detail is caught in the dark glaze itself, so it won't chip or fade with use. This is a tea cup built for afternoon tea rituals or quiet mornings. Durable, food-safe, and designed to be handled and loved.
In real life
Your moment, beautifully held
Picture this: you've brewed something special-a single-origin black tea, maybe a delicate oolong. You reach for this cup. The weight feels right in your palm. The silver catches the light as you bring it close. You taste it properly, without rush. That's what this cup does. It makes tasting tea feel like an event, not an afterthought.

FAQ
Questions about this tea cup
What size is this cup? How much tea does it hold?
This is a tasting cup, designed for savoring rather than filling. It's modest in capacity-perfect for single-origin teas or trying something new without committing to a full mug. Ideal for afternoon tea service or a contemplative morning moment.
Can I use this cup every day?
Yes, it's durable ceramic and food-safe. Hand wash it gently to preserve the silver relief detail. Many customers use theirs daily, though some prefer to reserve it for special moments or display it as a beautiful object.

What are your delivery times?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and US delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
Do you offer a warranty on your products?
Yes, all our products are guaranteed for 1 year against manufacturing defects, on top of the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day return policy: if a product does not suit you, email teatime@luluteapot.com and we will make it right.
