Tea Bag-Catching Cups

The le mouton noir & co Tie Tea Cup is Perfect for Reducing Mess

— October 23, 2015 — Art & Design
While your tea is steeping, it's a common problem that the string attached to the bag will slip into the cup, leaving you to fish around till you find it; the le mouton noir & co Tie Tea Cup puts an end to this struggle with a design that will anchor the bag to the side like a ship in port. Designed to be perfect for drinkers who are either left or right handed, the le mouton noir & co Tie Tea Cup is delicately designed to feature two small notches that have been placed just adjacent to the handle where you can tie the bag while it is brewing.

Designed by George Lee, the le mouton noir & co Tie Tea Cup holds 12-ounces of liquid.
