Ask Bio about this range · Tea and Coffee Cups
The tulip-shaped tea glass is one of the most recognisable pieces of Turkish table culture, and no household that drinks çay several times a day gets far without a proper set. Tea in Turkey is served strong, hot and in small glasses rather than mugs, a habit brought over by Turkish, Cypriot and Kurdish families across the UK and now catching the eye of British home cooks too.
What the range covers
Over 40 products sit in this category, led by well known Turkish glassware names Pasabahce and Lav, alongside Korkmaz and Turkish Household. You can pick up classic Pasabahce Turkish tea glasses in packs of six, Lav Alya and Zen tea glass sets with handles, and dedicated raki glasses from both Lav and Pasabahce for evenings with meze. There are matching saucers, red and blue tea glass coasters from Turkish Household, and even a Pasabahce three-layer sweet dish for offering Turkish delight alongside the tea tray. A copper cup with handle rounds out the more decorative end of the range.
How to choose, store and use
A standard tulip glass holds a small serving on purpose, since Turkish tea is topped up two or three times from a double teapot rather than poured once into a large cup. Choose thinner glass sets for everyday use and heavier cut patterns like the Lav Zen range for guests. Raki glasses are taller and narrower than tea glasses, so keep the two separate in your cupboard to avoid confusion. Hand wash patterned or gilded glasses rather than using a dishwasher, as repeated hot cycles can fade decorative rims over time. Coasters protect wooden tables from both heat and condensation and are worth buying in the same batch as your glasses.
Delivery across the UK
These glasses and cups are delivered UK-wide by DHL Express within 1-2 business days, with a tracking number sent by email once your parcel is on its way. Spend £60 or more and delivery to London and mainland UK is free; smaller orders are charged a flat £5.99. Glassware is boxed securely, and prices in the range start from under £3 up to around £60 for larger sets, so building a full tea and raki service in one order is straightforward.
Tea and Coffee Cups — frequently asked questions
What should I buy first for a Turkish tea setup?›
Start with a set of six classic tulip tea glasses, such as those from Pasabahce or Lav, plus matching saucers. A double teapot is the traditional way to brew and serve, but the glasses themselves are the essential first purchase for any tea-drinking household.
How long do tea glasses and coffee cups last?›
Glassware itself does not expire, but patterned or gold-rimmed pieces last longer when hand washed rather than machine washed, since repeated hot dishwasher cycles can wear decorative finishes down over years of daily use.
What pack sizes are available?›
Most tea and raki glasses come in sets of six, with coaster packs typically sold in sixes too. Smaller decorative items, such as the copper cup or the three-layer sweet dish, are sold individually rather than as sets.
Which sub-categories sit alongside this one?›
Tea and Coffee Cups sits within the wider Kitchen section, next to cooking equipment and everyday kitchen essentials, so glassware, teapots and cookware from brands like Korkmaz can be added to the same order.
Are these glasses suitable for everyday Turkish coffee too?›
Yes, several items in the range, including copper coffee pots and chrome cezve-style pots sold elsewhere in Kitchen, are designed for Turkish coffee, and the tulip glasses here work well for serving water alongside a small coffee cup.
