What are some different types of teacups?

Whether you prefer a matching teacup set or like to keep your tea collection eclectic, here are some different types of teacups you’ll find available from independent sellers on Etsy: Japanese teacups: These smooth, cylindrical-shaped cups typically don’t have a handle and feature a small size that holds just a few ounces of tea at a time. In Japanese, these cups are called “yunomi,” which means “a utensil for drinking hot water.” Turkish teacups: Most Turkish teacups feature a tulip shape that makes them easy to hold. These fancy teacups are typically made of clear, sturdy glass, but you’ll also find them in a variety of other shapes and materials. Chinese teacups: These petite cups often resemble a tiny shot glass, but some designs also feature a more classic, albeit very small, silhouette. Look for Chinese ceramic teacups in a range of fabulous patterns and colors to add a beautiful new piece to your collection. Tea infuser cups: If you want to steep your tea for longer, try a tea infuser cup. This teacup design includes a built-in infuser that holds onto fresh tea leaves, spices, or tea bags so that the flavors slowly meld together in the hot water while you sip.
