Description
Long ago, a "sugar nipper" was used to pinch off a chunk from a sugar loaf to sweeten tea. This tedious ritual forced otherwise refined tea-drinkers to fish the lump from their cup after partially dissolved.
An exasperated Austrian woman beseeched her husband to devise a single serving sugar. In 1843, the Swiss-born owner of a beet sugar refinery employed women to crank out 10 tons of cubes a day- much to Vienna's delight. Perched upon the saucer, iced flowers sweeten both tea and conversation.

Soooo Sweet
These little cubes are cute and beautiful as can be! My friend absolutely loved them. She said they were too pretty to eat but she couldn’t wait to try them with her evening cup of tea.

I feel like I am having tea with the Queen when I use these sugar cubes. They are simply spiffy! I even use a clear cut glass bowl to show them off even when I'm not having tea.
