My Tea                                                                   Tee Set by Ritzenhoff

We all have our weaknesses and are partial to certain culinary delights. Ones we can hardly resist. And just as we attempt to read in a person’s appearance, we associate tastes for such pleasures as wine and cigars with particular personalities. People who drink tea are frequently thought to be independent. It’s said that they are particularly well-balanced and patient. Accordingly, they take their time to select their tea with great care (definitely no teabags!). And even the preparation of their particular hot drink is turned into a special ceremony: boiling the water, pouring it on the tea and letting it draw for a specific amount of time – these few activities reveal the nature of tea drinkers as surely as do their faces. So what would be more obvious than designing a tea cup with a unique facial expression?

Different parts of the world have developed different tea traditions. And Ritzenhoff’s “My Tea” is a nod in the direction of this rich variety – while giving the steaming pleasure a striking shape that is full of character. The colourful faces in our collection of cups reflect the great tea cultures of Europe, Africa and Asia. Thus allowing a design that is just as individual and varied as the different types of tea and their aromas. Besides this the high-quality Bone China teacup with tea strainer and drip bowl makes it possible to prepare the tee as perfect as possible.
