Coffee's New Competitor

Tea as a trendy form of wellness. Steamy spas and relaxing massages are no longer the only means of pampering both body and soul. What started with a fortune accident 5,000 years ago in China has become a new form of wellness that can be enjoyed today in many a stylish tea salon.

Coffee's New Competitor. Coffee-to-go remains as popular as ever, but quality tea leaves are now giving coffee beans a run for the money. Danes are crazy about tea, as many have taken well to this hot beverage swirled in Eastern mysticism and healing powers. Tea has become a very special indulgence.

Designer Pernille Vea chose a bold blend of semi-transparent New Bone China and silicone for MENU's new tea and coffee series. The series design is simple and sleek, and the Menu mugs, Menu tea pot, and Menu coffee press pot have all the modern functions one could hope for. At first glance, the pots resemble earlier porcelain models, but by lining the fine porcelain in mocha-colored silicone, Pernille Vea has given them a straight forward touch.
