Ceramic Teapot

A ceramic teapot in light blue or pale green. Ceramic is the traditional material for brewing and still the best: it holds heat steadily through a pot, so the last cup is as hot as the first, and unlike metal it adds nothing to the flavour.

Glazed inside, so it won't hold the character of the last tea brewed in it — which matters if you drink both a smoky black and a delicate green, since unglazed clay will carry one into the other.

Why you'll love it

• Holds heat evenly — the last cup is as hot as the first.
• Adds no flavour — unlike metal pots.
• Glazed interior — no carry-over between different teas.
• Two soft colourways — light blue or pale green.

Details

• Material: glazed ceramic
• Colours: light blue, shallow green
• Ideal for: loose leaf tea, herbal infusions

Warm the pot with a little boiling water before brewing and pour it away. A cold ceramic pot drops the water temperature enough to under-extract black tea.
