Enjoying Your Glass Tea Pot
I am interested in all forms of glass tea pot. I am an inveterate tea drinker. I find this quintessentially English drink to be both refreshing and relaxing at the same time. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly why this should be, but I have a theory that it relates to the ritual that is involved in preparing the tea to drink. This may involve something as straightforward as a tea bag in a cup of hot water, but actually I find it most fun to go through the ritual of preparing and drinking tea properly. This process involves using real tea leaves and not the cheap powdery sort that you tend to get on supermarket shelves, and in my case it involves using a glass tea pot that has an inbuilt infuser. The thing that I love about my glass tea pot is that in contrast to the tea making process that you go through with an everyday ceramic tea pot, with the glass tea pot you actually get to watch as the tea leaves infuse the boiling water in the pot with the essence of the tea.
The infuser in my glass tea pot is also made of glass. The whole tea pot is literally, in my view, a work of art. It has been hand blown and the maker must truly have been a master craftsman because it is flawless and stunning to look at. If you have not had the opportunity to look at some of the interesting designs that you can buy glass tea pots in you really should drop down to you shopping mall and see if you can take a look. You will likely see some fascinating designs for the tea pots, ones that you don’t tend to see so often in the ceramic tea pots.
The typical glass tea pot tends to be fairly simple in its construction, relying on simplicity and elegance to create the effect. You can get a pyrex glass tea pot and a clear glass teapot but contained within a wooden or other type of holder.
Once you have had a chance to see a glass tea pot in action I believe you will quite quickly agree that it is really an interesting and engaging way of making your tea and you will also understand why the ritual of making tea is an important part of making tea in the future.
