Nintendo's Yoshi Egg Teapot Is Both a Functioning Tea Set and the Best Thing in the Nintendo Store Right Now

Summary

• Nintendo has released a Super Mario Yoshi Teapot and Cup Set in New york and San Francisco, designed to look like a classic Yoshi egg with green speckled porcelain exterior
• The lid of the teapot lifts off and doubles as a cup and saucer, with the full set including a tea filter and a small Yoshi plate; the teapot holds approximately 450ml and the cup approximately 350ml

Nintendo has released a Yoshi Egg Teapot and Cup Set, and it is exactly what it sounds like. The porcelain set is shaped like a classic Yoshi egg, complete with the character’s signature green speckled exterior, and comes with a lid that lifts off and doubles as a cup and saucer. 

The design is straightforward and effective. The teapot body takes the egg-dome shape in full, with the green speckled pattern running across the exterior in the exact register of Yoshi’s iconic egg design. Inside, the set includes a tea filter and a small Yoshi plate, making this a fully functional tea service that happens to double as an extremely covetable shelf piece. The teapot holds approximately 450ml; the lid-cup holds approximately 350ml. It is not microwave or dishwasher safe, which feels appropriate for something this cute.

The drop arrives alongside a wider range of Yoshi merchandise currently live on the Nintendo online store, including egg-shaped Yoshi plushies in green, light blue, pink, and yellow, and a themed Yoshi Decorative Cloth. The timing is deliberate: Yoshi and the Mysterious Book launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on May 21, and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, in which Yoshi also features, opened in theaters just last month. Nintendo is running a full-spectrum Yoshi moment across software, film, and your kitchen shelf simultaneously.

The teapot is the centrepiece of the range and the piece most likely to move quickly. Nintendo’s lifestyle merchandise has form for selling out fast — the Hatchin’ Yoshi animatronic repeatedly cleared stock after its New York Toy Fair debut, and the Super Mario Galaxy Movie popcorn bucket was flipping on eBay for nearly $100 USD within days of release

The Nintendo Super Mario Yoshi Teapot and Cup Set is available now at the Nintendo stores in New York and San Francisco.

A new addition to your morning tea ritual. 🫖
