The tea cup and coffee cup are the exact same plant. Big dipper is one I named years ago and is a much different. It is most likely that Coffee cup is a fontensii hybrid or mutation. Big dipper is a mutation off of violet stem. The big dipper with have slightly velvety type leaves compared to the coffee cups shinny slick leaves. Both have dark stems and big dipper has shown to be much hardier. Here is a pic comparing the leaves.
