How to choose the right Tea Cups

• Match cup capacity to your menu, from smaller cups for traditional tea service to larger sizes for lattes and speciality drinks.
• Choose between porcelain for classic hotel and restaurant service or stoneware for a more contemporary, casual look.
• Consider stackable designs if you have limited shelving or need to store large quantities in a compact back of house area.
• Select colours and styles that complement your saucers, mugs, and overall tableware theme to create a cohesive presentation.
• Think about handle comfort and weight, especially for venues with long breakfast sittings or high turnover beverage service.
• Plan stock levels with breakages in mind, ordering in catering packs to maintain a consistent set on the table.

Care and maintenance

• Wash cups promptly after service to minimise tea and coffee staining and keep glazes bright.
• Use non abrasive pads and suitable detergents to protect glazing, decoration, and coloured finishes.
• Allow cups to cool before stacking and only stack compatible designs to reduce the risk of chipping.
• Inspect rims and handles regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged items from service for safety.
• Avoid sudden temperature shocks, such as moving cups directly from hot service to cold rinse, to prevent stress fractures.
• Store cups on stable shelves or cup racks, keeping handles aligned to speed up service and reduce accidental knocks.
