Product Description
The Jasmine Tea Cup Set captures the essence of Asian-inspired design with clean lines and pleasing curves. This handcrafted set of 2 tea cups is made of dishwasher safe ceramic. Covered in a high quality black glaze, the glossy interior of the cups keeps beverages warm while the satin finish exterior remains cool to the touch. The set is lovely either on its own or combined with other pieces of the Jasmine tea service including the tea pot, sugar and creamer set, and serving tray. Each cup holds 6 ounces of tea.

 Good looking, but a bit disappointing. January 10, 2008

These teacups are very nice looking. The Semi-Gloss black is a perfect match for my new tea kettle, and the asian design is pleasing to look at.
However, for the first con I wish to quote Jordan Edwards', as he put it perfectly
"For their size, they seem to offset the weight of the contents a bit more than expected. On two occasions in the few days I have been using them I have managed to spill the contents on myself by misjudging how full it was and thus how fast I could move it."
These cups do suffer from this, and it is almost guaranteed that if you swirl the cup, or just have not so perfect balance it will most likely spill a few times till you get used to this.
The other major con comes from the package: "Satin exterior finish stays cool while glosssy interior keeps beverages warm." While it does seem to be fine at keeping the beverages warm, the exterior stays anything but cool. Not only does the cup get hot quickly, but by the time I finish pouring any hot tea into this cup, the cup is basically too hot to touch.
Overall: Good looking, and if your careful it will work fine. However, do expect to spill a few times, and don't expect this cup to stay cool if you want any form of hot tea.

I am quite picky when it comes to drinking vessels, especially when it comes to tea. When I added these to my cart to fulfill the 4for3 promotion, I fully expected them to end up as nothing more than a catch all for pocket change on my desk.
I could not have been more wrong. In fact, I will probably end up having to order a few more just to phase out my old glasses.
My only complaint would be the weight. For their size, they seem to offset the weight of the contents a bit more than expected. On two occasions in the few days I have been using them I have managed to spill the contents on myself by misjudging how full it was and thus how fast I could move it.
