Technical details
Handcrafted Olive Wood Tea Cup & Saucer
This tea cup and saucer set is handcrafted from natural olive wood, making each piece truly one of a kind. Intended for hot and cold beverages, it is designed for everyday tea drinking. Because olive wood is a natural material, grain patterns, color tones, and slight variations in shape will differ from piece to piece. Hand wash only - do not soak, dishwasher use is not recommended. Not intended for microwave use. Comes as a set: one cup and one matching saucer.
The Real Difference
Your Morning Tea, Finally in Good Hands
Hold on now, let me tell you something. There is a difference between drinking tea and actually enjoying it. When you wrap your hands around a cup carved from real olive wood, warm and smooth and unlike anything from a big-box store, your whole morning slows down just a little. That is not nothing, sweetheart. That is the whole point.
Craft & Materials
One Olive Wood Cup, No Two Alike
Every single olive wood teacup in this set is handcrafted, which means the grain running through yours will not look like anyone else's. Mind you, that is a feature, not a flaw. Olive wood is naturally dense and beautifully marked, with warm honey and brown tones that deepen over time. The saucer is matched to the cup, and together they make a proper little set worth keeping out on the counter.
Picture This
Tea Time With a Wooden Cup That Feels Right
Well now, imagine it's early, the kettle has just clicked off, and you pour your favorite herbal brew into this olive wood cup. It sits on its saucer like it belongs there. You carry it to your chair, no rush. Between you and me, a cup like this makes even a plain chamomile feel like a small occasion. That is the kind of everyday ritual worth building, dear.
FAQ
Your Questions About the Olive Wood Tea Cup
Is this olive wood tea cup safe to use with hot liquids?
Yes, this handcrafted olive wood cup is designed for hot beverages including tea. Just keep in mind it is not microwave-safe, so heat your water separately before pouring. Olive wood handles warmth beautifully and will feel comfortable in your hands.
Can I put this wooden teacup in the dishwasher?
No, and believe me, you do not want to. This cup is hand wash only. Soaking or dishwasher cycles can warp or crack natural wood over time. A quick rinse and gentle hand wash will keep it looking lovely for years.
Will my cup look exactly like the one in the photos?
Not exactly, and that is actually the charm. Because each olive wood teacup is handcrafted from natural wood, grain patterns and color tones vary from piece to piece. Yours will be genuinely one of a kind, which is rather the whole point.
Does the set include both the cup and the saucer?
Yes, you get both. The set includes one handcrafted olive wood tea cup and one matching saucer. They are made to go together, so no need to hunt for a saucer separately.
Is this a good gift for a tea lover?
Well now, a handcrafted olive wood cup and saucer set is about as thoughtful as a tea gift gets. It is practical, beautiful, and completely unique. Whether for a birthday, a holiday, or just because, it is the kind of thing a tea lover will actually use every single day.

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.
