We drink our daily cups of fine tea Asian-style—no milk, no sweetener, just clear, beautiful tea. We love our pretty porcelain tea cups and elegant mugs, but switching to a glass mug or cup makes a big difference in the visual appreciation of this beautiful beverage.

Veneziano from Bodum, shown, is a double-walled glass cup with a handsome stainless steel saucer. Double-wall insulation means that you can put the cup directly on a surface without fear of moisture or heat marks.

If Veneziano’s $34.95 price tag is more than you want to spend, for just $5.95, we love our heavy-duty Bodum “Copenhagen” glass mug. For $14.95, you can get the glass mug plus an insert to brew loose tea (the “Yo-Yo”).

Find Veneziano, Copenhagen and a fine selection of additional glass mugs, cups and infusers at BodumUSA.com.
