Teame Tea Set by MOA Eating Products
Vera Wiedermann knew there had to be a better way to enjoy a hot, relaxing cup of tea. Deciding to take a solution-oriented approach, this creative designer came up with an intuitive take on the teacup. The TEAME tea set, nominated for a 2015 German Design Award, features a discreet nick in the rim to hold the teabag in place, making soggy tea labels a thing of the past. A silicone ring keeps the mug cool to the touch, while a saucer does double duty as a lid to keep the entire ensemble warm. When the tea is steeped, the base of the mug keeps the unsightly teabag hidden between cup and saucer. The teacup, transformed—and exceptionally so.

Copper is so much IN, that is already almost OUT. But if you still want to jump on this bandwagon, here some ideas.
