How do you like your tea pot?
As promised here is a very detailed look at my tea pot. Sometimes people think that it does not matter whether you use a tea pot, cafetiere, sieve or one of those strange ball shaped strainers you can buy from Whit*ard to make your tea. Can I say that I think those people are dreadfully wrong. Having tea is not just about putting a tea bag in a mug, stirring it around, putting the milk in and drinking - making the tea in a good tea pot is all part of the experience. I would consider a cup of tea made hastily in a mug to only be an average cup. Making a good cup will definately involve the use of tea pot. Nowhere else can you get the experience and aroma than when you make tea in a pot.
Now to the pot itself. I used to use a standard tea pot with the classic Whit*ard strainer. That was fine and made a very good cup. As you will from the photo, I no longer use my strainer but instead use 'The Stay Fresh Hot Tea Pot'. This gadget keeps the tea hot for at least 2 hours after brewing and keeps it fresh so it doesn't stew. Not only that but it makes a massive 5 mugs of tea. Buying this will set you back about £20 which, though it might seem a lot, is really worth it. This tea pot will save you time, energy and tea bags, and has the trendy 'see thru' look which put together makes for a great tea experience.
If you want to buy one of these tea pots then you can do at Argos or probably any shop that sells good tea equipment. You won't regret it!
