Character comes first
A silhouette, a glance, a habit, the way a cup is held. Clothes help tell a story, but never replace a creature’s own distinctive form.
TEA.TOYS / About
Creatures brought
together by tea.
TEA.TOYS is a world of collectible characters inspired by tea, places, crafts and encounters. Their forms are imaginary; their curiosity about everyday life is real.
Every cup has a place
We distinguish where tea comes from and where people drink it. The stories connect growing regions, modern cities and the personal habits of imaginary characters.
Inspiration with care
Cultural and historical lines are original interpretations informed by research. A single character does not stand for every person, tradition or ceremony in a community.
From image to figure
Explore front and rear images, and rotate the 3D model where available. The intended figure height is 10–12 cm. Each design’s readiness for physical printing is assessed separately.
A world that grows with its stories
The first nine tea characters began the collection. Cultural, city, island and historical lines followed, alongside characters created with brands. Each personal page brings together the current looks.
The tea world continues
Read about tea, explore its places and ways of drinking it. The characters offer another way to start a conversation about what is in your cup.
