The 'Nook Wood Tea Cup', a new and exclusive CB2 product, shows the possibilities that exist when designers are willing to think outside of the box. While most teacups and mugs are made out of hard materials like ceramics, clay, porcelain, or even glass and metal, the Nook Wood Tea Cup is made from natural wood, making it a soothing addition to one's nightly tea ritual.
The Nook Wood Tea Cup is made out of teak, which is a hardwood. The dense grain is naturally resistant to stains, which is why the designers made the choice. The teak used for the cup is also reclaimed, so it'll be an environmentally friendly and sustainable option in one's kitchen cabinet.
