Every sip tells a story. At Christina's Coffee, our 15 oz. ceramic mugs aren't just vessels for your favorite brew – they're a celebration of New Orleans' rich culture, vibrant neighborhoods, and iconic landmarks. Each color in our collection represents a special place that makes the Crescent City truly unique.
Metairie Blue: Where It All Began
Our Metairie Blue ceramic coffee mug holds a special place in my heart – it's named after the city where I was born. Metairie, which is French for "tenant farm", is the largest suburban region of Jefferson Parish and located due west minutes outside of New Orleans. This close-knit community represents the foundation of who we are. Blue represents the main school color of East Jefferson High School, where I and thousands of others graduated.
Mardi Gras Purple: The Spirit of Celebration
No New Orleans collection would be complete without honoring Mardi Gras! French for "Fat Tuesday", Mardi Gras is the carnival celebration that defines our very being and is reserved as a state holiday. Our Mardi Gras purple mug embodies one of the traditional Mardi Gras colors, representing justice and the joyous spirit that fills our streets during carnival season. Every time you drink from this mug, you're celebrating the magic that makes New Orleans the party capital of the world.
Westbank Red: Across the River
Our Westbank Red coffee mug pays tribute to the vibrant communities of Algiers, Gretna, Harvey, Marrero, Terrytown, Westwego, and Belle Chasse that make up the collective "Westbank" , located across the Mississippi River from the French Quarter. The West Bank region, with its unique character and strong community bonds, deserves recognition as an integral part of our greater New Orleans story. Red represents the school color of West Jefferson High School, which is a center of education for Westbank residents and long standing rival to East Jefferson High School.
Kenner City Green: Gateway to New Orleans
Kenner, named after one of the early European explorers, serves a vital gateway between New Orleans and the world. Home of the Louis Armstrong International Airport, you can't get to New Orleans without going through Kenner first! Our Kenner City Green coffee mug honors the history and legacy of this vital city.
Baton Rouge Baby: The Capital Connection
While Baton Rouge may be our state capital, it's also deeply connected to New Orleans culture and history. Our 15 oz ceramic Baton Rouge inspired mug represents the political heart of Louisiana and the important role the capital plays in shaping our state's identity and future. Baton Rouge is home of the legendary LSU Tigers and HBCU Southern University.
Cabrini: Excellence in Education
The Cabrini inspired coffee mug honors the prestigious all-girls school that has been shaping young women's lives in New Orleans for generations. Cabrini High School represents academic excellence, strong values, and the empowerment of young women in our community.
Claiborne: A Street with Soul
Claiborne Avenue is more than just a street – it's a cultural artery that runs through the heart of New Orleans. This Claiborne inspired coffee mug celebrates one of our city's most famous thoroughfares, where history, culture, and community intersect daily.
Black and Gold: Who Dat Nation
Our black and gold mugs draw inspiration from the beloved New Orleans Saints. These colors represent the unwavering loyalty, pride, and unity that Saints fans bring to our city. Whether it's game day or any day, these colors remind us that we're all part of the Who Dat Nation.
Black Fleur de Lis: Honoring Our Heritage
The black fleur de lis coffee mug represents the vibrant African American history that is woven into the very fabric of New Orleans.
