If you’ve ever experienced
empty teacup syndrome
,
you know the importance of a really BIG tea mug.
Some are so large that, when filled to the brim, you need two hands to lift them—or you simply leave them on the table and sip. Sluuuurp!
These oversized cups call for
“gulper” teas
that can hold their flavor all the way to the last drop.
Over the years, hubby and I have collected mugs and teapots of all sizes. Some mugs are even larger than our teapots—like this stoneware mug I picked up at a Renaissance Faire.
A mug nearly as large as the teapot!
This mug holds about 16 ounces—plenty to last through a few chapters of a good book (especially if you’re reading something lengthy like Jane Austen).
Some Impressively Large Tea Mugs

- Large capacity travel mugs (Bubba-style) — Available in sizes ranging from about 24 ounces to over 50 ounces, these are ideal for serious tea drinkers on the go.
You can even use a handled soup bowl if you really want to go big!
If you have oversized coffee mugs lying around, consider sharing them with a tea lover—they’re perfect for hearty teas like Assam, Ceylon, or even oolong. They also work beautifully for chai lattes.
No need to run dry in the middle of a paragraph—just go big and enjoy your tea.
