Leafbud ceramic tea cups are made for the moments that matter in a day: the first chai of the morning,
a slow cup in the afternoon, or tea shared with someone you love. Handcrafted and full of character,
each cup turns an everyday habit into a small ritual.
Because every cup is made by hand, glaze, colour and form vary slightly from piece to piece. From
delicate cup and saucer sets to cheerful pairs and statement single cups, there is a tea cup here for
every table and every taste.
Handcrafted Tea Cups With Character
Leafbud tea cups are shaped and glazed by hand rather than mass-produced. The small differences that
come with handmade ceramics, in the way a glaze settles or a rim curves, give every cup a personality
of its own.

Cup and Saucer Sets
For a more graceful tea time, the Demitasse Cup & Saucer set pairs two 90 ml cups with matching
saucers in a soft azure glaze. Small and elegant, they suit a strong cup of tea or an espresso.
Tea Cup Sets for Two
Many Leafbud tea cups come in pairs, made for sharing. The Ebb and Flow Cups, with blue brush-stroke
designs inspired by Japanese woodblock art, hold 200 ml each, while the Festive Cheer Cups pair a green
exterior with a deep red glaze inside. A pair of cups is also a simple, thoughtful couple tea cup set.
Everyday and Statement Tea Cups
From soft greens like the Jade and Verdant cups to blues like the Twain Ocean and Twain Sky cups,
choose a glaze that suits your kitchen or mix colours for a relaxed, collected look on the table.
Why Choose Handmade Ceramic Tea Cups
- Made for daily chai: sizes from a small 90 ml cup to a regular 200 ml cup of chai.
- Hot and cold drinks: many Leafbud tea cups are listed as hot and cold safe; check each product page.
- Sets for sharing: pairs and cup and saucer sets for couples, family and guests.
- Handmade character: every cup is slightly different, so no two tables look the same.
- Gift-ready: a lovely present for tea lovers, newlyweds and housewarmings.
How to Choose the Right Tea Cup
- Capacity: around 90 ml suits a strong, small serving; 180 to 200 ml suits a regular cup of chai.
- Set size: choose a pair for two, or mix several pairs for a larger family.
- Saucer or not: a saucer adds a classic touch for serving guests; a cup on its own is simpler for everyday use.
- Glaze: pick a colour that suits your kitchen, or mix glazes for a handmade, collected look.
Tea Cups as Gifts
A pair of handmade tea cups is one of the easiest gifts to get right. It suits housewarmings,
anniversaries, Diwali and the friend who never says no to a cup of chai. Pair it with a box of their
favourite tea for a gift they will use every day.
The Leafbud Philosophy
Leafbud believes meaningful products come from creativity, craftsmanship and respect for traditional
skills. Founder Kewal Kotian built the brand around the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which
celebrates authenticity, natural beauty and the unique character of handmade objects. Every Leafbud
tea cup reflects that idea: an everyday object, made with care.
