Hugo the Robot

We'd like to introduce you to the newest addition to the Perennial Tea Room staff -

Hugo the Robot!

Well okay, he might not actually be on staff here, but he does provide a valuable service - infusing tea, and looking darn cute while doing it.

He hangs out in your cup to infuse your tea (kind of like relaxing in a hot tub) and comes with a little dish to stand in so he doesn't drip tea on your counter.

You can get your own Hugo the Robot tea infuser in the shop and on our website.

New Glass Tea Tumbler

We just received some of these great new glass tea tumblers - something customers have been asking about for some time.


They are dual-walled to keep your tea hot and your hands cool, and they're super easy to use. To make tea, remove the lid and strainer, add loose tea and hot water. Replace the lid and strainer, let steep for the appropriate amount of time, and remove the lid to drink right from the tumbler! The strainer holds back the tea leaves. The tumbler holds about 10 fluid ounces.

The tea tumblers are made of sturdy borosilicate glass, and are free of lead, cadmium and BPA.

Check them out in the shop and on our website.

Rubber Duck Tea Infuser

Sometimes we see a product in a catalog from one of our vendors and we say "We have gotta have that in the shop!"

Well, this is one of those times.

Isn't that just about the cutest darn tea infuser you've ever seen? Just unscrew the bottom, put in a teaspoon of loose tea, and float it in your cup to steep! It even comes with a little base to put it in to catch the drips when you're done steeping.

It makes a great gift, and a good way to introduce kids to loose tea. You can find it in our shop and on our website.
