Tea Mug Types

Our collection offers a variety of tea mug types to cater to every tea lover's preferences. The main styles include classic ceramic mugs that provide excellent heat retention and timeless aesthetic, modern glass mugs made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass that showcase the beauty of the tea as it steeps, and convenient all-in-one infuser mugs crafted from either ceramic or glass, which come with a fine mesh stainless steel infuser basket and fitted lid for easy loose leaf tea brewing. We also have a teapots collection.

Ceramic Tea Mugs

Ceramic is the traditional material for tea mugs. It retains heat well to keep your tea warm and has a timeless look. Our ceramic mugs are lead-free, microwave and dishwasher-safe for easy care. The thick walls insulate well, so the mug won't be too hot to hold. Ceramic mugs come in various colors and designs, from solid hues to unique patterns. They're a great choice for sipping your favorite brew at home.

Glass Tea Mugs

Glass tea mugs offer a contemporary and stylish option. Made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass, they provide a clear view of your tea as it steeps. Glass mugs are typically microwave and dishwasher-safe. While they may not retain heat as long as ceramic, glass mugs have a modern, lightweight feel some tea drinkers prefer. The transparent design is especially fitting for blooming or flowering teas. We also offer tea jugs.

Infuser Tea Mugs

For loose-leaf tea lovers, a mug with a built-in infuser offers the ultimate convenience. These all-in-one mugs come with a fine mesh stainless steel infuser basket that fits into the mug. Simply add your loose tea to the infuser, pour in hot water, and let it steep. The infuser is easy to remove and clean. Infuser mugs are crafted of ceramic or glass and come with a fitted lid to keep your tea warm. They simplify brewing so you can enjoy loose-leaf tea anywhere.

How to Choose a Tea Mug for Yourself

Consider how and where you typically enjoy your tea when selecting a mug. For a cozy cup at home, a classic ceramic mug works well. The thick walls retain heat to keep your brew warm as you sip. If you prefer a more modern and lightweight option, a glass mug may be your style. The clear design is ideal for watching blooming teas unfurl.

For loose-leaf tea fans, an infuser mug is the way to go. It streamlines brewing, as you can prepare and enjoy your tea in the same mug. The mesh infuser gives tea leaves ample room to expand for full flavor. Infuser mugs are available in both ceramic and glass.

Also, think about the size that suits your needs. Our mugs range from 12-16 oz capacities. A larger mug is perfect for those who like a big, comforting cup of tea. If you prefer to savor just a cup at a time, a smaller 12 oz mug may suffice.
