Hemper Tea Cup Bong – 6" White & Gold Glass Showerhead Perc

The Hemper Tea Cup Bong is a 6-inch glass water pipe shaped like a teacup, 3 inches in diameter on 5mm glass, with an opaque white body, an opaque gold handle and trim, and a clear joint and mouthpiece. It runs a showerhead percolator — a step up from the diffused downstems most of this range uses — and Hemper publish an explicit contents list: the bong plus a 14mm male joint flower bowl. Angies Boutique lists it at $59.99, matching Hemper's own price.

⚡ At-a-Glance Decision Summary

• What it is: A 6-inch glass teacup bong, 3 inches in diameter on 5mm glass.
• Showerhead percolator — a named perc type, and better filtration than the diffused downstems on most of its shelf-mates at this price.
• Hemper publish a real contents list: the bong and a 14mm male joint flower bowl. Very few pieces in this range get one.
• It has a handle. A teacup shape gives you somewhere to hold that is not the neck.
• 5mm glass at the heavier end of what Hemper publish.
• Opaque white body, gold handle and trim, clear joint and mouthpiece.
• Flower only. Not built for concentrates.

🧠 Our Verdict

Buy the Tea Cup Bong if you want the best filtration in the $59.99 Hemper bracket. It is one of only two pieces at this price where Hemper name a showerhead percolator rather than a diffused downstem, and a showerhead spreads the draw across many more openings. Add 5mm glass, a published contents list, and a handle that a teacup shape gives you for free, and it is the most complete piece on this shelf. The trade is that the opaque white body hides the interior entirely, so cleaning has to be scheduled rather than judged by eye.

Quick Summary

The Hemper Tea Cup Bong is a 6-inch tall, 3-inch diameter glass water pipe shaped as a teacup, built on 5mm glass with a showerhead percolator. The body is opaque white with an opaque gold handle and trim, and the joint and mouthpiece are clear. Hemper include a 14mm male joint flower bowl. Dry flower only. $59.99 at Angies Boutique in Los Angeles.

Hemper Tea Cup Bong – 6" White and Gold Glass Teacup Water Pipe

Across the $59.99 Hemper bongs, almost every percolator is described the same way: a diffused downstem. It works, but it is one stage of diffusion and it is what you get at this price.

This one publishes a showerhead percolator. A showerhead pushes the draw out through a spread of openings rather than a single slitted stem, which is a genuine step up in the filtration that a $59.99 piece normally offers. Hemper also do something they rarely do here: they publish an actual contents list — the bong and a 14mm male joint flower bowl — rather than leaving you to find out what is in the box. And the teacup shape earns its place, because a cup comes with a handle, so there is a deliberate place to hold it that is not the warm part. Browse the rest of the range in our bongs collection.

Summary: The Hemper Tea Cup Bong is 6 inches on 5mm glass with a showerhead percolator and a 14mm bowl in the box.

⭐ Who This Product Is For / Not For

Ideal for:

• Anyone who wants the best published filtration at $59.99. A showerhead perc beats a diffused downstem on paper.
• People who want to know what is in the box before ordering — Hemper publish a contents list for this one.
• Buyers who want a handle. A teacup gives you one without compromising anything.
• Anyone who wants thicker glass. 5mm is at the heavier end of what Hemper publish.
• Gift buyers who want something readable and a little more elegant than the rest of the novelty shelf.

Not recommended for:

• Concentrate users. This is a flower piece.
• Anyone who wants to see residue building. The body is opaque white — the interior is completely hidden.
• Buyers who need a confirmed joint gender. Hemper publish the bowl's fitment and not the bong's — see Known Limitations.
• Travel. It is 6 inches of glass with a handle standing proud of the body.

Summary: This suits flower users who want a showerhead perc and a known contents list, and it does not suit concentrates or anyone wanting a visible interior.

⚠️ Known Limitations

• The body is opaque. You cannot see inside it at all. Hemper publish an "opaque white tea cup body", and the joint and mouthpiece are the only clear parts. That means no visual cue for when it needs cleaning — set a fixed interval instead.
• Hemper publish the bowl's joint, not the bong's. The contents list names a "14mm Male Joint Flower Bowl", which is the fitment of the accessory. Hemper never state the bong's own joint size or gender. A 14mm male bowl implies a 14mm female joint on the bong, but implication is not specification. Measure before buying a spare slide, or ask us and we will check the piece in store.
• No material grade published. Hemper give a 5mm thickness and no glass type — the word borosilicate does not appear on this product's page. If a published grade matters, the Bowlman Lantern Bong is the piece in this range where it is stated.
• Hemper do not say whether the downstem is removable. Assume it does not come out until you have the piece in hand.
• A showerhead perc is more to clean. More openings means more surface for residue than a plain downstem. Budget a longer soak.
• Flower only. The chamber and perc are tuned for smoke.

Summary: The trade-offs are an opaque body that hides the interior, an unpublished bong-side joint, and no material grade.

⚙️ Features & Benefits

• Showerhead percolator — the headline. Hemper name the perc type rather than leaving it generic, and a showerhead spreads the draw across many more openings than a slitted downstem does. At $59.99 that is uncommon.
• Published contents list — Hemper state exactly what ships: the bong and a 14mm male joint flower bowl. Most pieces in this range publish no contents at all, so you are buying with the box confirmed.
• A handle — a teacup shape produces one naturally, giving you a grip that is not the neck. One of the few novelty silhouettes that adds function rather than costing it.
• 5mm glass — published thickness, at the heavier end of Hemper's range.
• Opaque white body with gold handle and trim — a cleaner, more restrained palette than most of the themed shelf.
• Clear joint and mouthpiece — the two working surfaces are clear, so you can at least see the joint seat and the draw path.
• 6 inches on a 3-inch diameter — enough column for the perc to work with, on a footprint that still fits a shelf.

Summary: A named showerhead perc, a published contents list, a handle and 5mm glass define this piece.

📐 Structured Specs

Summary: 6 inches tall, 3 across, 5mm glass, a showerhead perc, and a 14mm male joint bowl in the box.

🔌 Compatibility & Requirements

Works with:

• The included 14mm male joint flower bowl, which is what Hemper ship with it.
• Dry flower, ground to a medium consistency.
• Water, filled to just above the showerhead perc.
• Any lighter or hemp wick.

Not compatible with:

• Concentrates in practice — the chamber and perc are tuned for smoke.
• Puffco Peak attachments. Entirely different fitment.

Before you buy a spare bowl: Hemper publish the included bowl as 14mm male, which tells you the accessory's fitment. They do not publish the bong's own joint size or gender. Measure it or ask us before ordering a different slide — spares are in our glass bowls and slides range once the fitment is confirmed.

Summary: The included bowl is 14mm male; the bong's own joint is unpublished and worth confirming before buying spares.

🧼 How to Use & Troubleshooting

Filling and using it:

1. Fill with water until the showerhead perc sits just under the surface. A showerhead needs to be submerged to do anything — start low and add.
2. Take one dry pull with no bowl seated to check the level. Water reaching the mouthpiece means you have overfilled it.
3. Hold it by the handle rather than the neck. That is what a teacup handle is for.
4. Seat the included 14mm bowl, pack it loosely, and light the edge rather than the centre.
5. Empty the water after every session. Standing water is what makes glass smell.

Cleaning — you will not see when it needs it: the body is opaque white, so residue is invisible from outside. Work to a fixed schedule instead. Add coarse salt and isopropyl alcohol to the chamber, cap the openings, and agitate — a showerhead has more openings than a plain downstem and holds more residue, so give it longer than a simpler piece. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and stand it upright to dry. Our guide to bongs, bubblers and glass bowls covers general glass care.

Troubleshooting:

• Problem: the draw is tight. Solution: showerhead openings clog before a plain downstem does. A full salt-and-alcohol soak restores airflow.
• Problem: water pulls up to the mouthpiece. Solution: overfilled. Pour some out and retest dry.
• Problem: it gurgles. Solution: too much water, or flower has fallen through into the chamber.
• Problem: material pulls through the bowl. Solution: grind coarser, or drop a small glass screen into the included bowl.
• Problem: you cannot tell whether it needs cleaning. Solution: the opaque body hides everything. Set a fixed interval rather than waiting for a visual cue.
• Problem: flavour has gone flat. Solution: change the water before assuming it needs a full clean.

Summary: Submerge the showerhead, hold it by the handle, and clean on a schedule because the body is opaque.

⚖️ Comparison Table

These four $59.99 bongs cluster tightly on height, so the separator is filtration. This is the only one in the group with a showerhead percolator — the rest publish a diffused downstem or a stem diffuser, which are single-stage. It is also one of only two with a bowl in the box. The Bowlman Lantern is the pick if you want a published material grade, which this one does not have. If you are weighing several, our guide on choosing from a premium smoke shop works through what matters.

Summary: The only $59.99 Hemper bong with a showerhead perc, and one of two with a bowl in the box.

💬 Common Questions & Answers

How big is the Hemper Tea Cup Bong?
6 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter, on 5mm glass, all published by Hemper. That puts it mid-range among the $59.99 Hemper bongs — the Bowlman Lantern is 7 inches, the Scare Bears is 5.7.

What percolator does it have?
A showerhead. That is worth noting because it is the only $59.99 Hemper bong in this range with one — the others publish a diffused downstem or a stem diffuser. A showerhead pushes the draw out through a spread of openings rather than a single slitted stem, which is more diffusion for the same money.

Does a bowl come with it?
Yes, and Hemper publish an actual contents list for this one: the Tea Cup Bong and a 14mm male joint flower bowl. Most pieces in this range publish no contents at all, so this is a rare case where you know what is in the box before ordering.

What size joint does the bong have?
Hemper do not publish it. They state the bowl is a 14mm male joint flower bowl, which is the accessory's fitment rather than the bong's. A 14mm male bowl implies a 14mm female joint on the bong, but that is an inference and we are not going to print it as a specification. Measure before ordering a spare slide, or ask us and we will check the piece in store.

Can you see when it needs cleaning?
No. The body is opaque white and only the joint and mouthpiece are clear, so there is no visual cue for residue building inside. Clean it on a fixed schedule instead. A showerhead perc also holds more residue than a plain downstem, so give it a longer soak than you would a simpler piece.

What is it made of?
Glass. Hemper publish a 5mm thickness and no material grade for this piece, so we are not going to specify one beyond what they state. The Hemper Bowlman Lantern Bong is the piece in this range where borosilicate is published.

Does the handle actually work?
Yes — it is a real handle on a teacup form, so it gives you a grip that is not the neck. On a bong you are holding while lighting something, that is a genuine convenience rather than a decorative flourish.

Summary: The key facts are 6 inches on 5mm glass, a showerhead perc, a published contents list, and an opaque body that hides the interior.

🛒 Complete Your Setup

The bowl is in the box, so nothing is required to start. Grind consistency matters more than usual on a showerhead perc — material that pulls through has many more openings to clog than on a plain downstem — and the Santa Cruz Shredder Hemp Grinder gives the even medium grind it wants. Our guide to keeping a grinder clean pairs with it.

Because the opaque body hides residue and a showerhead holds more of it, Dr. Dabber Iso-Snaps are worth having for the work between full soaks. Once the bong's joint is confirmed, spare slides are in glass bowls and slides, and the full range sits in Hemper. Everything ships from our Los Angeles shop, with same-day pickup at 838 N Broadway.

Summary: A grinder and cleaning supplies are the sensible pairings with a showerhead-perc piece.
