"The cup fits comfortably in my hands while having a large capacity. I recommend using it when drinking herbal teas with beautiful color; the beauty of the glass will really stand out." Staff M.A.

"The gently curved form is stable and the handle can be gripped firmly. I like how this cup can be used casually and comfortably. On cold days, I like to make chai tea using lots of spices with the UNITEA one touch teapot and drink from this cup." Staff S.N.

"The matte texture and gentle shape of the cup makes me want to wrap my hands around the cup. To me, the design strikes a nice balance between traditional and modern. I can use it for all kinds of teas as well as for coffee and desserts, like pudding. I like using the saucer as a small plate to put my snacks on." Staff F.T.

"With this cup, I can easily brew tea for myself without a teapot. I no longer have the issue of making too much tea for myself in a teapot and feeling disappointed by the leftovers becoming dark and bitter. Another big plus is that it's really easy to wash. I sometimes brew tea with water at room temperature, and I like how the lid helps to lock in the rich aroma of tea as well." Staff T.N.

"I use double wall glasses all year round because they're good for both cold and hot drinks; the glass doesn't sweat with cold drinks inside, and the glass surface doesn't get hot when I put in warm drinks. When drinking tea sodas and other drinks with beautiful color, the double wall glass is great because the glass doesn't fog up." Staff W.T.

"While the product is called 'wine glass', the rounded shape and size of this cup are perfect for my morning tea. The color of the tea shines through beautifully, and it also goes great with my UNITEA one touch teapot and teatime sweets." Staff N.M.

"The simplicity and the delicate appearance of the heat-resistant glass is nice. I often use these 'bowls' for drinking tea with coasters. My favorite tea and dessert pairings are Japanese Kaga-Bocha (roasted twig tea) with Kuzumochi, and elderflower tea with cookies and honey." Staff C.S.
