From One Teacup to a Whole Story

It started at my grandmother’s kitchen table — lemongrass tea with milk, long chats, and a quiet calm I’ve never forgotten.

Those early moments made tea feel like more than a drink. It became a ritual — a way to slow down, connect, and appreciate small things.

Years later, a Downton Abbey binge sent me deep into antique markets and vintage shops. I wasn’t after perfect sets — I was drawn to the quiet pieces with a little wear and a lot of soul. The ones that felt like they had something to say.

Friends would ask, “Where did you find that?”

And I’d light up — because behind every piece was a story. And I loved telling it.

That’s how ClassyTea began.

First it was teacups. Then it grew — into handblown crystal, artisan pottery, heirloom décor, and fine china you’ll want to pass down.

I choose every piece with care. For the shape. The glaze. The weight in your hand. The kind of details you don’t forget.

Whether you’re here for a dainty cup or a bold, sculptural vase — I hope you find something that brings quiet joy to your table.

Thanks for being here. It means the world.
