Know before you buy
Yes, the tumbler is crafted from high-quality crystal designed to hold hot tea or espresso. However, please note that it is not insulated, so the exterior will become warm to the touch when filled with hot liquids.
This piece is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the clarity and integrity of the hand-cut crystal, we recommend washing it by hand with warm water and a mild detergent, then drying it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Absolutely. While the tapered shape was developed with a tea sommelier to concentrate the aromas of delicate teas, its size and design make it an excellent vessel for espresso-based coffee drinks or even small servings of spirits.
The tumbler has a capacity of 25 cl, which is approximately 8.45 ounces. This makes it an ideal size for a standard serving of tea or a double espresso.
No, the Apollo tea tumbler is sold as a single piece without a lid or a saucer. Its design focuses on the purity of the crystal and the tactile experience of holding the glass directly.
