At Twinings, our passion is creating wonderful teas and infusions and the best teas deserve to be enjoyed in the best cups.

Our Breakfast Black Tea Cup enhances the earthy notes, while brining out the refreshing briskness in black teas. The deep vertical sides and slightly curved bottom of the cup allow the concentration of heavier base notes, while the wide cup opening allows the aromatic qualities of the tea to be appreciated through the nose.

We believe that the shape of the cup affects your appreciation of the flavours of the tea within. To explore this further, we have teamed up with Peter Ting, a ceramics designer, to produce a limited edition of his 1660 range; elegant and innovative porcelain tea tasting cups, designed to enhance the experience by bringing out the bouquet, appearance and flavour of our teas and infusions.

"Just as the design of a glass can enhance the taste and aroma of wine, so the different forms of 1660 London's fine tea cups allow us to enjoy different teas at their very best."
