I make Persian/Turkish tea that is kept very hot on the stove. Can these glasses withstand a really hot cup of tea?

I have poured boiling hot water in my cups where the cup were at least 40 degree sitting in the cabinet.

Yes, I believe they can.....the glass is very thick and I have made tea with boiling water straight from the kettle in them.

Hi Helen.Yes. They are fine for tea! My husband and I are big tea drinkers. We love these mugs! Enjoy! Melissa

I normally drink tea in a cup or mug but I agree that they are quite sturdy and withstand the hot dishwasher, so I wouldn't be afraid to try it. Your hand will get hot unless you have a cozy over the glass.

I do use these with hot beverages - actually tea and I don't find it a problem as it doesn't get any hotter than the beverage and if you are cautious when you initially use them until you become used to the difference and use common sense, you shouldn't have a problem.

I have used these lovely cups for several tea parties using boiling water. Since my china cups are delicate I wouldn't recommend putting them in the microwave. My guests love these cups and my granddaughters too!

They are fairly durable and hard plastic, I have not tried to use them on something that is currently hot but I am pretty sure as long as you don't let it just sit there then you should be fine.

I want to say 'yes' as they are not lightweight but quite 'heavy.' They are very sturdy and I have used microwave to reheat coffee in them with no issues...glass stays cool. Hope that helps!

Absolutely, I use them for tea, coffee, and coco. The handle stays cool and the drink stays hot.

Vat 19 states that it is not tempered glass, so the manufacturer does not recommend pouring boiling water in it. The metal utensil "trick" that One2ndTooLate writes about has always worked for me, too. Also, I wait about 30 seconds after I take the water off the heat before I pour it in. Supposedly, boiling water is too hot for tea and coffee and brings out the bitter oils. So, it's safer for my glassware and my tea is tastier! Enjoy your Kufra! I have three!

I wouldn't advise it: the glass itself is strong enough to support any hot beverage without cracking but not insulated / thick enough to keep the drink hot or prevent burning your hands

Not sure what you mean. I use a tea mug warmer at work. Is that the same thing? The teapot and cup are make of ceramic and will be able to withstand heat, except for an open flame. My granddaughter loved this present.

No! One of your previous answers said yes but after having break right after using in the microwave I checked Teavana's website and they say no. These areally great glasses for tea or coffee. They look great and having nice and are well balanced. But don't use them in the microwave.

No. I bought it to give as a gift. I do not think it is made of Pyrex type glass therefore it will probably break with hot (boiling) water. I wouldn't try it.

Yes! I have used these for cold as well as hot coffee and hot tea. Never any problem!

Yes they should be. Remember though how very delicate the glasses are. I wouldn't put hot coffee in them.

Not if you are going to use them on it. It is a molded plastic, very sturdy but cannot take hot items.

Not at all. This cups are very sturdy and will not burn your fingers if something hot is poured in it.
