Tea Time Porcelain Cup*
Enjoy the old world charm of sipping flavored tea with our classic, European style porcelain tea cups with your family and friends. Each porcelain cup and saucer set comes in white with silver trim or white with gold trim, so the Tea Time Porcelain Cup sits comfortably on a table already dressed in either metal.
It is a small cup, and that is the point. At 1-7/8"W x 2-1/8"H on a 4-1/2"W saucer, it takes up almost no room beside a menu card, yet it reads as real china rather than party tableware. Guests notice the weight of it before they notice anything else, and the quiet gleam of the trim against a white cloth does the rest of the work for you.
A glassine tea bag decorated with a satin ribbon and accented with a small rose can be added for a special touch, with your choice of tea: la France Pear with Matcha, English Breakfast Tea, Green Passion with Matcha or Orange Ginger Mint. That is what turns the favor into an experience rather than an object. The cup goes home, the tea gets brewed a week later, and the memory comes back with it.
This favor is not just for weddings, but is also perfect for a bridal shower or afternoon tea party. No matter the occasion, your guests will love this quaint little gift, and the ones who collect teacups will love it twice. For an extra special treat, try combining this favor with our Herbal Tea Sachet Bag, so each guest leaves with a cup in one hand and something fragrant in the other.
Choose your trim, choose your tea, choose your quantity, and give your table the old world charm of a proper cup and saucer.

Which one should I choose
Tea favors split into what the guest drinks from and what the guest takes home to brew, and you can do one or both.
| Tea Time Porcelain Cup | Choose it when you want a European style porcelain cup and saucer on the table that guests keep and reuse. |
|---|---|
| Herbal Tea Sachet Bag | Choose it when the favor should be the tea itself, fragrant and flat enough to tuck beside a plate. |
| A disposable cup or paper tea packet | Choose it when the favor only has to last the length of the party and nothing is meant to go home. |
If you want the favor still in a guest's cupboard next winter, put the tea in porcelain rather than paper.
