I had tea at The Empress in March 2026 and loved the cup and saucer. I wanted to purchase then and there but had an upcoming trip to London and thought I'd wait in case I discovered a cup and saucer I liked better there. I did not. The Empress set is still my favorite! Very good quality and gorgeous. Tea time feels like a real luxury!

I purchased a tea cup and several of the tea's when I was at the Empress for tea and brought them home with me to the States. Once I was home, I wanted to share the experience with one of my friends, and was delighted I could purchase another exact tea cup and saucer online. Every time I drink a cup of tea from it, it brings back the lovely memories of my experience at the Empress.

This set looks so delicate and pretty, but it's even lovelier when you hold in your hands. It is also surprisingly sturdier than I thought. It has become my new favorite!

After having High Tea, getting a cup and saucer mug, I needed another cup and saucer and a TEAPOT!!

The cup has a wonderful feel and makes the tea fantastic. Reminds me of days in Victoria!
