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.

More On Glass Teapots

I do not believe that you can properly enjoy a drink of tea if you do not use a teapot and proper tea drinking mugs or cups. One great way of making this process or ritual fun is by buying a glass teapot so that you can see the liquid being infused by the tea leaves. This is especially the case if you are interested in trying out lots of different types of tea.  Many people buy glass teapots because they have adopted the process of making tea into the ritual they go through for every cup.  The glass teapot is part of that ritual, watching the process of the tea literally being transformed before their eyes.

There are many types of glass teapot on the market, they have become very popular over the years because they create the impression of being perfectly clean, because they are see though, and do not affect the flavor of the tea that is brewing within them.  Of course this is not necessarily the case, because most if not all teapots, once clean, will not affect the flavor of the tea.  But because if you have not cleaned your glass teapot you would see the dirt it is easier for folk to think like this.  As an aside if you do own a glass teapot then in order to keep it properly clean you should regularly soak it with hot soapy water for a period of time, say 15 minutes, agitate it gently with a brush, then rinse with warm water and leave to dry in the air.  This should keep it really clean.

Of course it is not the only reason why people buy glass teapots.  There are any number of innovative designs available.  Buying teapots is a particularly personal matter, a teapot one person likes another may well hate. But fortunately because of the fascination associated with being able to watch the tea brew inside your teapot, the glass teapot has perhaps more interesting designs available than most.  You are probably spoilt for choice.  You can get hand blown glass teapots, a glass teapot with infuser built in, and even a glass teapot with a gentle warmer, thermostatically controlled built in.

Indeed  glass teapots are a really great choice of teapot and are my personal favorites.  Whenever I have friends or guests over, can you guess which teapot I use.  You are right – the glass one!
