Tea Cups

Small stoneware cups for olive-leaf tea.

Why is it useful?

The right size for a short pour, drunk while it's still hot — not a mug that goes lukewarm halfway through.

How does it fit the ORVIK world?

The cups that come out at the wall at dusk.

How to use it

Made for tea steeped strong and poured small — olive-leaf, sage, or whatever's in the tin that week. The narrow shape keeps the tea hot for the few minutes it takes to actually drink it. Hand wash; they're light enough that the dishwasher can chip the rims over time.
