A Twist on the Teacup

teacup_05

I’ll take tea over coffee any day, especially if it’s served up in something as sexy as the Gourd Teacup. Named for its curvaceous form, it’s not only aesthetically appealing – the dual-chambered design is perfectly functional for easy steeping and straining leaves.

The bottom reservoir simply holds water while the top serves as a nesting place for an adapted hopper that can be filled with leaves and easily removed when you’re tea is ready. The double-layered glass and topper insulate your tea to keep it hot while simultaneously keeping your hands from burning! Do want!
