Tea Towels FAQs

What is the point of a tea towel?

The tea towel is a versatile piece of cloth that is used for a range of tasks in the kitchen. Traditionally, tea towels were used for serving and drying delicate chinaware during tea service. They can also serve the same purpose as a dish or kitchen towel, drying dishes or wiping up spills and messes. Tea towels can also be used to line bread baskets, as a makeshift potholder or oven mitt to handle hot cookware, to keep food warm, as a makeshift coaster or placemat, as a substitute for an apron, or as a decoration for the kitchen or dining table. Tea towels also make great gift items for people who love to cook or as housewarming presents for friends and family members.
