If you love puns and drinking tea, this dinosaur mug is the one for you. Available from LennyMud on [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock), the Tea-Rex mug features a black silhouette of a tyrannosaurus rex holding a cup.

The handmade [teacup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuptone-teacup) has a lead-free glaze, is kiln-fired and made out of earthenware clay. The dishwasher and microwave safe coffee cup is one tea lovers will die for. The non-toxic and eco friendly dinosaur mug has a glossy white exterior and spring green interior. Intended for daily use, the word play (not to mention delicious, life-giving tea) will help you start your day on the right foot. Awesome enough to make all your other mugs go extinct, this cup makes a great gift too.
