There’re at least two (or more) Leaning Towers in the world, one is the famous building away in Italy and the other is this ceramic Leaning Tower Tea Set here on my table. It is composed of a teapot, a lid, two cups and a metal basket infuser, making it the greatest tea set for both household using and a gift to others.
Different from most tea sets that emphasize a luxury or exquisite style, the Nasty Set by José Paulo Alves Corceiro features an eccentric and humorous design that endows the tea cups and tea pot with big round eyes, straight rigid figures and arch smiles… Kinda like those cute characters of comics, animated films or books.
Yaps I love tea very much, but I never imagined squeezing tea bags to enjoy the ever last drop… It’s bit of weird, if without the help of Tèo Tea Spoon. The innovative gadget makes squeezing tea bags an elegant behavior, simply pull the thread of tea bag through the hollow handle, gently squeeze it and then done. No more water left on tables while you’re removing the bags from the cup, but merely sweet tea ready in cup for you to enjoy.
We all have our own purposes: some drinks tea for fun, some drinks for leisure and some merely drinks for convenience. If you’re rightly somebody pursuing convenience, the Blooming Cuppa Tea is surely the first one on your list. The design combines a disposable cup and a teabag package, ensuring both easy transportation and easy usage. The only drawback I see is that the disposable tea cup may leave some “footprints” to our environment. Hopefully they will be finally produced with eco-friendly materials.
The Moon Bowls, which are cleverly designed with a small crescent-shaped shelf inside, can indicate changing shapes of the moon with your favorite green, jasmine or oolong tea. Usually, the bowl will start with a full moon but gradually wane down to a crescent as you sip up the beverage. But never be too sad, as you can get your full moon back after you refill the bowl with some liquid. [Read the rest of this entry...]
Instead of making a cup of tea for the blind, you may do something more meaningful- give them the Braille Tea-Brewing Thermoses and help them to make some tea on their own. [Read the rest of this entry...]
Designed by Estelle Sauvage, a graduate from Ecole Nationale supérieure d’Art et de Design de Saint-Etienne, the new kettle can heat water to 90°C using a light bulb. But of course the bulb is not directly placed into the water! Mounted on a wooden base, the incandescent bulb is actually separated from water by the recess of the glass jug for safety.

Thanks to Betina Piqueras for sending these pics of the teapot frame, which is designed to bring much more convenience to the uses through the fabulously cunning combination of an ordinary teapot and a common stand. Though seems rarely needed on the paper, you’ll urgently want one when burned by the hot pot. [Read the rest of this entry...]
The Rotary Kettle fits in perfect to the handicapped, and those who are really too lazy to pick up the kettle…Featuring a user-centered design, it allows you to pour water in quite an easy way: simply grip the handle, rotate its body and then pour…Due to the spring system, the kettle will return to an upright resting position once the user release it. Its hourglass body and vivid color contract makes the kettle aesthetic enough for modern spaces.

Originated from Asia, drinking tea is believed as a wonderful way to strengthen the social ties, because people would also have a relaxing chat while enjoying the tea. And the Emotive Teapot is all aimed at intensifying that social and cultural function of drinking tea. It comes with two spouts, enabling the users to pour the tea from both sides. But perhaps the most interesting point is the rocking motion design, simulating several gestural movements of people like nodding and bowing. [Read the rest of this entry...]
This tea set fits lovers quite well. It features several ‘couple’: the ‘couple’ spouts of the tea pot could offer tea to a couple of cups at one time; and the tea tray is also designed to hold the two matching cups. In other words, everything you see from the elegant tea set always indicates the same number ‘two’, wishing you and your girlfriend/boyfriend a sweet life. [Read the rest of this entry...]
Frankly, the mug has nothing to do with Van Gogh but the concept is rather intriguing. The Dear Van Gogh is a silicon mug that features an ear-shaped flexible handle. Designed by Mike Mak, the handle feels realistic and could be twisted or pulled hard. That sounds like a perfect way to release your anger! [Read the rest of this entry...]
The Shark Fin Tea Infuser will surely ensure you a funny time during the tea-making process! And similar to tea infusers you’ve ever used, the Shark Fin Tea Infuser also effectively prevents tea leaves from blending with the liquid and therefore allows you to enjoy a ‘pure’ tea. You’ll find the liquid somewhat weird if you’re making black tea, as your tea is turning ‘bloody’! Wow, that’s the most ‘violent’ tea infuser we’ve ever come across.
Even the most masterful waitress still couldn’t carry up to 8 cups at the same time, and 5 to 6 cups may be the limit to them. But isn’t there anyone can take 8 or more cups simultaneously? Haha, I could, however, if only I’m using the Conjoined Twin Cups. May you want to try it? [Read the rest of this entry...]
Someone likes strong tea while others may prefer weak tea, so how could a family with different tastes share one pot of tea? The so-called “Fall” tea kettle allows you to control the strength of tea with a sliding strainer. By judging the color of the tea water, you can easily withdraw the sliding strainer from the hot water at any point you want. If you’d like the tea to be stronger, just push down the sliding strainer and continue to brew the tea. Moreover, the heating station wouldn’t transmit any heat to the tea kettle unless its concave heating transfer is placed onto the base. With a battery built inside the base, the kettle’s heating station could get charged either by the internal battery or through the cord.
