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!
