In 1810, Thomas Jefferson commissioned a Virginia silversmith to craft eight tumblers from silver cups he inherited from his friend and teacher, George Wythe. The silver tumblers remained at Monticello for the rest of Jefferson's life and were a regular fixture on his dining table.What do you drink in a Jefferson Cup?Our pewter Jefferson Cup is great for cold drinks.

His Garden Book sporadically charted the first to "come to table" and the "last dish of artichokes" from 1794 to 1825. Also known as French Artichoke, this native of southern Europe was cultivated by the Greeks and Romans. Globe Artichokes are not reliably hardy in Virginia, as Jefferson acknowledged to his Parisian friend Madame de Tessé in 1805: "we can have neither figs nor artichokes without protection from the winter."Arrives in a 3.5" pot.

Purchase the pot and sampler combo from the drop-down menu above to save $5 on a tea sampler! Jesse’s Review: This cup-pot combo is straight-up a great way to make tea. It’s very practical and yet the results are still top-tier. If you don’t have the space, time, or energy for a full Gongfu-style tea set, this is for you. I keep one of these on my desk at home in case I need to really get work done and can’t do the whole tea ceremony, and I also have a second set just for traveling and taking to friends’ houses. One note - because this set doesn’t come with a pitcher, you need to be sure to only add as much water as you need to drink your next cup. Otherwise, you will be left with extra tea inside the pot which keeps over-steeping. Don’t Forget Your Tea Pets! It’s not gongfu tea time without a tea pet! Check out the tea pets and add one to your order!   Jesse's Quality Guarantee! When I started this shop, I wanted to find a way to take care of tea friends in a way normal online shops wouldn't.   That's why I will replace any defective items for free. Simply contact teafriendsupport@jessesteahouse.com if you have issues.   I also highly recommend buying shipping insurance with your order - for a few dollars, we will cover any breakages, losses, and package theft 100%!   I take care of my tea friends! I hope you will keep coming back!
