Any serious tea drinker knows that the teas they drink are only one part of the lifestyle.  That’s right! But tea is one part of the equation, but the sweeteners and the teapot are the remaining portions of the equation.  Because of our busy lifestyle, we mostly opt for a tea maker over a teapot. If you think that you have the coolest teapot, you’re wrong!

How can the teaware affect the taste of the tea?

On a basic chemical level, the material your teapot or brewing vessel is made from will always influence the taste and aroma of your tea!

What to consider when choosing your teaware?

The teapot is the heart of the production. It’s where the tea leaves delicately unfurl in boiling water releasing their rich aroma, color, and flavor.

Glass teapots are great to watch the tea as its leaves open and the color dissipates. But they don’t retain heat well and can be hot to the touch. Glass has the least impact on whatever hot drink it encounters, therefore giving the truest representation of your tea leaves. Aside from being non-porous, its transparency allows the tea itself to shine

Pots made of ceramic or porcelain retain heat longer and are easier to handle to the touch. With a lighter-colored pot, you can see the color of the tea and know when it has finished brewing and is ready to serve.

Pots made of clay are the best for retaining heat but are more costly. Clay pots should be glazed on the inside to prevent the material from affecting the taste of the tea. Although in more advanced tea cultures, unglazed clay pots are preferred for the way they can enhance the flavor of the tea.

It’s time to take a bow for a flawless performance that delivered a perfect cup of tea that perfects the moment and changes your mood 360 degrees!
