There’s something magical about making tea. From the moment the kettle begins to hum to the last warm sip, tea is about comfort and pausing to enjoy the little moments. When it comes to elevating that experience, even the smallest detail, like your spoon, can make all the difference.
At ANNOVA, we believe that you can find beauty in the small things. Our colorful flatware isn’t just about function; it’s also about adding joy to the moments you repeat over and over again. So whether you’re crafting a calming oolong tea or whisking up a matcha latte, here’s how to style your tea setup with intention, charm, and color.
1. Choose a Dessert Spoon That Sparks Joy
Let’s start with the star of your tea setup: the spoon. ANNOVA’s colorful spoons add a pop of personality to your tea tray. It’s a tiny touch that feels so intentional and photographs beautifully, too. ANNOVA has a wide variety of spoon colors, allowing you to select the best color for you and your collection of mugs.
Pro tip: Match your spoon to your mood or tea type. Red for energizing teas like peppermint or chai. Blue for soothing blends like lavender or chamomile.
2. Layer with Texture and Tone
Pair your colorful spoon with a ceramic or glass mug that complements its color. Think neutrals like ivory or matte gray if your spoon is bold, or pair soft pastels with your favorite iridescent finishes for a dreamy, cozy vibe. Bonus points if your mug has a cute quote on it. Set everything on a linen napkin, small tray, or wooden board to ground the look. Add a few tea biscuits or yummy cookies for a Pinterest-worthy look.
3. Let the Spoon Be the Accent
Sometimes, your flatware is the focal point. ANNOVA’s spoons are sleek, modern, and designed to be seen. Place your spoon across the top of your cup or lay it gently beside your cup with the handle just peeking out from under a napkin. It turns your tea moment into a styled scene.
4. Perfect for Gifting and Hosting
A colorful flatware set and a box of tea make a thoughtful, elevated gift for teachers, friends, or hosts. Or, if you’re hosting your own tea party, set out an assortment of ANNOVA spoons in different colors so guests can pick their favorite. Our mixed flatware sets are perfect for this idea! It’s a small touch that says: you matter, and this moment matters too.
5. Create Your Ritual, Your Way
There’s no one right way to drink tea, but when your tools are beautiful and intentional, the moment feels more special. Whether you’re in a rush, in the office, or curled up with a cozy blanket at home, ANNOVA’s flatware brings color and care to the smallest daily rituals.
Final Sip:
Tea is personal. Let your setup reflect you: cozy, colorful, and full of care. And if your spoon happens to be red and shiny and totally gorgeous? Even better.
