Some of us really like our tea. So much so that we buy a bunch of products to help make our tea-drinking time all the more exciting and awesome. So that being said, SHOW ME YOUR TEACUPS, your kettles - electric and whistling - and whatever other accessories you have. Or, if you don't have anything you want to show off, show me what you wish you had. I'm a fan of a lot of Teavana's things, especially this: www.teavana.com/tea-products/tea-cups-mugs/glass-tea-cups/p/blue-bubbles-glass-tea-cupsThey used to have a swan-shaped tea kettle, but I can't find it. :C |

I really like Cath Kidston mugs (the big round-y ones); only a £5 but much bigger than standard mugs, whilst still being quite thin/fine china. Perfect! I'm not a fan of Cath Kidston usually, but I like those mugs. Other than that, I love Dunoon mugs. My mum has the Richmond shaped one, but I prefer Nevis.  My mum's getting me a Nevis one with poppies on as a leaving present for uni. I'm very excited. www.temptationgifts.com/acatalog/Nevis_Flora_poppies-lg.jpgMy problem with cups usually is that the beautiful, pretty, fine, flowery ones I like are too small and I don't see the point of having a miniature cup of tea; I could use a pot, but using a pot just for me seems like too much faff and also, a tiny bit sad. Swan-shaped kettle sounds AMAZING. I want! |

I just bought two of these from a consignment store: shop.maxbrenner.com/accessories/hug-mug.htmlThey're actually made for hot chocolate but I'm using it for a tea cup right now. And these mugs are normally $8.90 each and I ended up with 2 for $3.50. It's also too hot to touch but I want to drink my teaaaaaaaa. |

I got it as a gift from a friend who knows my cocoa-loving ways. I've also had the problem of the mug being too hot to drink from, but it does do a good job for the hands on chilly days... |

There's a little 'pocket' built into the clay that you put your hand in. It's actually really comfortable to drink out of and if it's too hot, you can just hold it by the outside of the pocket. |
