Know before you buy
Yes, the cup is made from heat-resistant glass specifically designed to withstand the temperatures required for brewing tea and coffee.
Both the glass cup and the stainless steel saucer are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. We recommend placing them securely in the rack to avoid breakage.
The stainless steel saucer is durable and resistant to rust, though like any polished metal, it may show water spots if left to air dry. Wiping it with a soft cloth after washing will keep it looking pristine.
While the glass is heat-resistant, it is a single-walled construction, so the exterior will become warm to the touch. If you prefer a cooler grip, we recommend holding the cup by the handle.
Yes, the UNITEA collection is designed to be modular and cohesive. This cup is intended to pair seamlessly with other pieces in the series, such as the UNITEA teapots or strainers.
