After a nasty breakup with my daily latte, I’ve found comfort in a new ritual: morning tea. The exploration of taste varieties has been beautiful, but — oh — the designs and all the pretty accessories that include tea time are much better! I am not just talking about kettles either. From storage containers towels, pinkies up lovelies, it’s brew time! — Kristin in The Cuisinerd

Kettles for everyone. These are just so gosh darn cute — I will take each of three.
Amazon
Staub 1 Quart Round Teapot, Graphite Grey – $129.95
Dear France,
How are you always so smoothly chic? Even your teapots are instant classics. I want a few style points from you when you get a moment.
Thanks.

Venie Tea Holder
This container looks more like a cologne jar compared to the usual tea hideaway. I really like the way the floral detail softens up the modern lines.
SAFARI LIVING
Marimekko Hennika Teapot – $139
You, sir, get to sit down on my stove best ALL DAY LONG. You are one thing that is handsome.
Ashes & Milk
White Dipped Spoons – $10
Wood dipped in whatever is divine, but these delicate small ceramic amounts are all sorts of, well, mine!
Ancient Industries
Green Milk Pot – $42
This modest milk-warming pot takes me from the city and makes me wish I were standing at a kitchen overlooking the expansive farm.
Beklina
Japanese Wood Tea Canister – $240
I never understood about the half-century-old lathing technique until seeing this, but now I am hooked. This is absolutely stunning wood.

Royal Hawaiian Triangles Tea Towel by Avril Loreti – $25
Tea time wouldn’t be proper without the proper accessories. I am in love with this midcentury, Hawaiian-inspired print. I can see this becoming a permanent fixture on my oven door.
Etsy
Mr. T Tea Teapot from Lenny Mud – $40
I pity the fool who does not take milk in tea.
Supermarket
Blaue Blume Milk Jug, White with Gold Shoes – $59
Discuss bringing dainty back into the tea party.

Black ceramic and wood together is forever gorgeous.
Fitzsu
Tse et Tse Mirza Porcelain Teapot with Reversible Coat Cozy – $200
I usually don’t gravitate to ultra modern design. This barely resembles a tea kettle, and it is wearing a small sweater like a tea-cup Yorkie, but I really like it just the same.
Jonathan Adler
Whale Serving Platter – $198
Who wouldn’t wish to be served small finger sandwiches from a grinning whale? Happiness has arrived!
Huset
Asplund Cookie Tray – $175
I suppose I do not want an excuse to have a multi-tier serving scenario, but I am ready to take this jump into teatime land. It’s so perfectly modern and, just, wow.
Etsy
Retro Inspirational Quote Giclee Art Print by Rock The Custard Prints
I believe we’d all be a little calmer in this crazed world when we broke in the strain and had some tea. Cheers.
ThinkGeek
Half Pint Cream Container
I love a throwback to position at a regular school milk lineup. I also love disposable consumer goods turned into well-designed functioning items.
Huset
Isak Porcelain Lidded Cups – $38
I can not tell what is more ideal: the routine or the wood lid. Both actually. This really is a 100-percent and looker countertop approved.
Etsy
Geometric Triangle Serving Platter from Asleep From Day – EUR 19
Gold? Geometric patterns? Drool.
Supermarket
Sorapot from Joey Roth – $200
Even in the event that you think blossoming tea is a little gimmicky, you can not deny the attractiveness of the demonstration.
Perpetual Kid

Tea-Rex? Get it? Get it?!
