Hand wash only, lay flat to dry. Not intended for microwave or dishwasher use. Best suited for standard teacup sizes.
The Real Difference
Your Tea Table Deserves Better Than a Napkin
You know that little moment of calm when you sit down with your cup? These raffia coasters make it feel just a bit more intentional. No more rings on the coffee table, no more grabbing a paper towel and pretending it's fine. Natural rattan saucers bring a quiet, honest beauty to your tea ritual, and believe me, that matters more than you'd think.
What They're Made Of
Honest Raffia, Woven the Old-Fashioned Way
These saucers are made from natural raffia, a plant fiber that's been used in weaving for generations. Mind you, there's nothing fussy about them. The rattan construction is sturdy enough for daily use, lightweight enough to stack and tuck away, and warm enough in look and feel to belong on any table. No synthetic coating, no pretense. Just good, natural material doing its job.
Picture This
Morning Tea, Rattan Saucer, No Worries
You set your favorite teacup down, steam rising, and underneath it sits one of these little woven saucers. The raffia catches any drips, keeps the heat from marking the wood, and honestly just looks lovely. Whether it's your morning Earl Grey or your evening chamomile, the scene feels a little more put-together. Well now, that's not nothing, is it, dear?

Coming as a set means you always have one handy, whether you're brewing solo or hosting a friend for tea. Between you and me, once you've used a proper natural saucer, going back to bare table feels a little sad.

FAQ
Your Questions About These Raffia Coasters, Answered
What are these coasters made of?
They're made from natural raffia, a plant-based fiber woven into a rattan-style saucer. No synthetic materials, just honest natural fiber. That's what gives them that warm, organic look that works so well with a tea setup.
How do I clean them?
Hand wash only, then lay them flat to dry. Don't put them in the dishwasher or the microwave. A gentle wipe or a quick rinse is really all they need for everyday tea drips and light moisture.
How many coasters come in the set?
They come as a set, so you get more than one. Check the product listing for the exact number included in your order before you buy. That way there are no surprises when the package arrives.
Will these fit under a standard teacup?

Can I use these under mugs or just teacups?
They're designed with tea cups in mind, so they work best with standard teacup sizes. A smaller mug should be fine too. For very large mugs or oversized cups, check the sizing details in the listing to make sure you'll be happy with the fit.

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.
