Tuxton Home’s Adorable Tea Set Makes Us Want to Drink Tea
I, along with the rest of the world, fell in love with the Netflix original show Bridgerton.
So much so that I bought the entire book series the show is based off of. The author Julia Quinn took me through quite the journey in each of the stunning novels, and ever since, I've been obsessed with British culture. A few years ago, I actually lived in London for a while, and it has always held a very special place in my heart. I had an internship in Notting Hill, and as a book lover, I can tell you it was just as good as you'd imagine (any Notting Hill fans?). So, with the release of Bridgerton and my journey into the books, I was reminded of that fun and fabulous British culture.
Something the Brits take very seriously is their tea. I'm not going to lie—tea never really grew on me when I lived in London. I'm more of a coffee or chai tea girl (which to me doesn't even seem like tea). So, when the team over at Tuxton Home reached out to me about reviewing one of their tea sets, I was hesitant. But, upon clicking the link to the tea set, I knew I needed it in my life. It was perhaps the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life, so I decided to give it a go. Below, you'll find my full review of the Tuxton Home Vintage Bloom Special Edition Collection, which gives me major Bridgerton vibes.
The Brand
Tuxton Home is a third-generation, family-owned business, with millennial cousins taking charge. They've repurposed a tea set owned by their grandparents, with the original featuring floral patterns, all hand-painted decades ago. The Vintage Bloom collection is made from porcelain fine china and features 24-karat gold trim—perfect for hosting tea parties or enjoying a nice cup mid-day.
The Products
Vintage Bloom Teapot: $45
This stunning teapot holds up to 37 ounces—just the right amount to get you and a friend through an afternoon tea sesh. I love that each side is a bit different but still shows off that signature Bloom effect. This is something I wouldn't mind keeping out on display!

Vintage Bloom Sugar and Creamer Set: $32
If you're anything like me, sugar and creamer are a must when it comes to tea. Since I'm not the biggest tea drinker, I'll admit that I tend to go overboard with the sugar and creamer. This set is so dainty, classic and one that I plan on using even when I'm not drinking tea, but coffee. The creamer holds up to five liquid ounces, while the sugar bowl comes with an adorable lid.

Vintage Bloom Cups and Saucers Set: $81
Now onto the main event—the cups and saucers. Included in this set are six cups and six saucers, all coming in that stunning Bloom design. Each cup can hold up to seven fluid ounces, and let me tell you—it photographs extremely well!

Bottom Line
While I'm not the biggest tea drinker, I've still found a way to use this pretty regularly. The timeless, floral design makes for one beautiful set of china that I plan on keeping around for years to come. If you're in the market for a new tea set, I couldn't recommend Bloom enough. It comes at a great price and is absolutely gorgeous.
