After a nasty breakup with my daily latte, I've found comfort in a new ritual: morning tea. The exploration of flavor varieties has been delightful, but — oh — the designs and all the pretty accessories that come with tea time are so much better! I'm not just talking about kettles either. From storage containers to towels, pinkies up lovelies, it's brew time! — Kristin from The Cuisinerd
Japanese kettles for everyone. These are just so gosh darn cute — I will take all three.
Dear France,
How are you always so effortlessly chic? Even your teapots are instant classics. I need a few style points from you when you get a moment.
Thanks.

This container looks more like a perfume bottle than a tea hideaway. I love how the floral detail softens up the modern lines.

Wood dipped in anything is divine, but these delicate little porcelain numbers are all kinds of, well, mine!
This little milk-warming pot takes me out of the city and makes me wish I were standing in a kitchen overlooking an expansive farm.
I never knew about the half-century-old lathing technique until seeing this, but now I'm hooked. This is absolutely gorgeous wood.
Tea time wouldn't be proper without the appropriate serving accessories. I'm in love with this midcentury, Hawaiian-inspired print. I can see this becoming a permanent fixture on my oven door.
I pity the fool who doesn't take milk in tea.

Talk about bringing dainty back to the tea party.
Black ceramic and wood together is forever gorgeous.

| I usually don't gravitate to ultra modern design. This barely resembles a tea pot, and it is wearing a little sweater like a tea-cup Yorkie, but I love it just the same. |

Who wouldn't want to be served little finger sandwiches from a smiling whale? Happiness has arrived!

| I suppose I don't need an excuse to have a multi-tier serving situation, but I'm ready to take this leap into teatime territory. It's so perfectly modern and, just, wow. |
I think we'd all be a little calmer in this crazed world if we broke from the stress and had some tea. Cheers.
I love a throwback to standing in a grade school milk line. I also love disposable consumer goods turned into well-designed serving items.
I can't tell what's more perfect: the pattern or the wood lid. Both really. This is a looker and 100-percent countertop approved.
Gold? Geometric patterns? Drool.

Even if you think that blossoming tea is a little gimmicky, you can't deny the beauty of this presentation.
