Traditionally, tea has been associated more with cups or mugs, but recently, tea glasses have also made their way into the scene. At first glance, serving a hot beverage in a glass might seem like an odd choice, especially when there is no handle. The glass can get very hot. However, that’s precisely the point.

For centuries, the Chinese have been serving their tea in cups without handles to enhance the tea experience. Those who use cups or glasses without handles can better feel the temperature of the tea, which prevents them from getting burned. This same underlying idea, namely the ‘experience’ of tea, is at the heart of the introduction of tea glasses in the West. More and more people are learning to appreciate tea, and those who delve into the long and beautiful tea production process understand why. The temperature of the water you use to brew the tea is crucial, but so is the temperature at which you drink it; a different temperature offers a different experience.

In Moroccan culture, too, tea is often served in small glasses. A tray filled with colorful, beautifully decorated glasses is presented to you. Traditionally, in Morocco, green tea (usually gunpowder) is served, and it is combined with mint and sugar.

Not everyone is a fan of hot glasses that you can burn your fingers on if you’re not careful. That’s why you’re also seeing more and more double-walled tea glasses. This way, you still have a beautiful glass that allows you to see the lovely color of your tea, and you can confidently hold your glass at any time.
