Description: Life should never be dull. Neither should your tea. Now is the time to be bold whenever you drink with the Alexander set. This tall geometric porcelain design will inspire you to make space for you favourite brew in your everyday life. 

First of all, thank you so much to Kees at Viva Scandinavia for sending me a few of their items of tea ware to review. I am absolutely blown away by their products, they're just so beautiful! 

The first item they sent me was their Alexander set, which personally, is my absolute favourite. They have this set in Peppermint (as above), Slate, Scandi Grey and Powder Brown. All four colours are very nice and well suited to this pot, but the pepperminty blue/green just spoke to me. 

The Alexander set comes with a Teapot, an inner metal infuser and 4 little teacups. The teacups are quite small, but I liked this feature. It's a perfect serving for trying out new teas or sharing with friends. After all, it's nice to take the time to enjoy tea. To sip it gently, whilst reading a good book or binging a good series. The Alexander allows exactly that. 



The pot kept the tea warm whilst serving smaller cups of tea to allow you to really taste the elements of the tea. The porcelain hold the heat of the tea really well. The shape of the teapot is very eye catching and modern. The spout isn't drip proof, but that didn't bother me. 

The feel of the teapot is a course feel, it doesn't have a smooth feel to this and that made it all the more stunning in itself. It feels handmade and rustic which I LOVED. The inner side of the teacups have been finished off so are a smooth texture you've expect to find from a teacup. You can see the shine from the teacups in the image above. 

The cost f this product is £69.95 and although i is on the pricey side I feel it's 100% worth it. You really do get what you pay for where tea ware is concerned. The more you pay the better quality you receive. The Alexander teaser feels sturdy, high quality and value for money which I think is the most important thing. The Alexander teaser also comes with a 100 day Guarantee so if anything does go wrong you'll get everything sorted. 

The teapot does get hot, which didn't bother me that much. The silicone grip around the Alexander Teapot does hold some of the heat and protect your hands, but take due care and attention when handling the pot. I also pre-warmed mine with hot water to ensure maximum heat for my tea.

Overall I'd definitely give this teaser a 5/5 for both style and usefulness.
