Best Teacup Reviews 2018

You have several options at your disposal when you shop for teacups. For example, you can go for a single cup, a set of two or more cups or an entire kit, which might also include an infuser, teapot and multiple saucers. The price will vary accordingly, depending on how much stuff the package contains. Paying between approximately $10 and $40 for a teacup set that contains two to six cups with saucers is a good idea. Comprehensive kits might cost from $20 up to $100 or more, especially if they come with many accessories.

The materials from which the teacups are made, as well as their size, design and capacity are also important factors that influence the price. Do an assessment and decide if you want just a set of teacups or an entire kit. While browsing the market, we also stumbled upon numerous cheap teacups with a price of just a few bucks. Although this might sound tempting, such products should be avoided, because they can break easily and have a rather boring, visually unappealing design.

Let's go ahead now and discuss the features teacups should have and give you an insight on what to look for when buying such accessories.

• Type - As previously mentioned, you can get sets of teacups, large and comprehensive kits or just a single cup made of special materials.
• Capacity - The size of the cup is also important, and today's teacups can hold between four and twelve ounces of tea.
• Materials - Most teacups are made of transparent glass, but others can also be fashioned from borosilicate glass or ceramics, having a special design.
• Care and Use - Some teacups are dishwasher and microwave safe, while certain pots made of durable glass are also thermal proof, meaning that they do not get damaged when they come into contact with boiling water.

Especially if this is the first teacup set you are buying, make sure you look at several products in a row before deciding which one to buy. Each of these materials has its benefits, and you should choose according to your preferences and, of course, budget.

You might also want to plan ahead and think about how often you like to entertain people at your home. For example, if it is just you and your spouse with a couple of friends, maybe four to six cups would be enough for you. If tea is the favorite beverage of most of the people in your circle of friends, choose a set that provides eight to ten cups.

We want to bring to your attention the qualities of borosilicate glass, which is basically a special type of glass heavily treated to be resistant to heat and accidental drops. Teacups made of borosilicate glass are more resistant to wear and tear, are dishwasher safe and feature better insulation properties, meaning that your tea will remain warm for longer.

You can also find teacups made of porcelain, regular glass or ceramic. These cups usually feature an attractive design; they might be dishwasher and microwave safe (especially those made of ceramics), and they come with saucers in most cases. Buy these cups if you want a quality product, but don’t necessarily need to invest in super-durable teacups, which are represented by those made of borosilicate glass.

Keep in mind that there are more goodies in the package, especially if you purchase a set. For example, you might find a stainless steel tea infuser in the package, as well as special lids for insulated cups. These accessories will enrich your tea-tasting experience and make you love this beverage even more!

We are happy to mention that most high-quality teacups on the market are dishwasher safe, some of them even being microwave safe. This means that you don’t have to rub and scrub to clean them; you simply put them in the dishwasher and push the start button. Teacups made of regular glass or porcelain are also lightweight, so they are perfect for taking with you on vacation if necessary. Lastly, today's teacups also come with warranty periods of one or two years, in most cases, so remember to check that too when you are selecting your favorite teacup set!
