Experience the warmth of Scottish tradition with the Scottish Thistle Tea Set – Mug, Teabag Holder & Breakfast Tea, a thoughtfully coordinated trio designed for comforting tea moments. This set includes a mug, teabag holder, and tea tin, all featuring a bold thistle motif. And if there's two of you there, you can easily double on the mug & teabag holder for a more comprehensive set!
In Scottish culture, the thistle symbolizes strength, protection, and pride. Legend tells that a barefoot enemy once stepped on a thistle, cried out in pain, and alerted a sleeping Scottish battalion – helping save them from surprise attack. The flower is framed by colorful interlacing knots and swirling patterns inspired by the illustrations of the Book of Kells, adding timeless Celtic charm.
Both the mug and teabag holder are crafted from 100% new bone china, offering exceptional durability, resistance to chips and scratches, and a refined glossy finish. Microwave- and dishwasher-safe, the mug holds a generous 11 fluid ounces, while the teapot-shaped holder measures 4 inches, perfectly cradling used teabags between sips.
The set also includes a rich Scottish Breakfast Tea, a full-bodied black blend that’s delicious with milk or enjoyed plain, just like Irish and British favorites. The ergonomic reusable tin keeps the tea fresh and contains 50 teabags for many cozy tea breaks.
