A cast iron, porcelain or glass teapot to enhance your tea

A teapot in cast iron, porcelain or glass, a selection of style

The choice of your teapot depends on your tastes and needs. The Japanese cast iron teapot has been used for many years. In addition to being a decorative item, cast iron teapots were formerly used as kettles thanks to their heat resistance. Glass teapots came much later. They often feature a modern design. While less robust, the glass teapot offers transparency to showcase tea colors. For teapots made of earthenware, stoneware, or porcelain, they all originate from the terracotta teapot. Once heated, the ceramic is then covered with earthenware or stoneware and porcelain. Depending on the material used, the teapot will have a different name.

Between teapot and cup, how to choose your tea set?

You should choose your teapot according to your taste. It's selected based on the available colors and materials. If you like colorful teapots, Japanese cast iron or English porcelain teapots are a wise choice. If you prefer a more understated teapot, the glass one will be ideal. Choose matching cups for your teapot. A complete tea set looks more elegant. There are also cups with lids to keep your infusion warm throughout your tasting. Prefer cups with handles if you choose the glass set.

What accessories are available for your teapot?

Whatever your selection, all teapots have a filter. The filter may be removable or not. This will depend on the product you choose. However, you must ensure the quality of the filter. Indeed, to ensure a perfect infusion, you must choose a teapot with a stainless steel filter. This will hold the tea and deliver all its flavors without altering them. The stainless steel filter is more suitable if it is removable. Also, when lifting the lid, observe the inside of your product. Make sure it is made of ceramic, stoneware, or enameled cast iron so it doesn't retain tea stains. Your service will be of better quality.

Which patterns and colors to choose for a teapot?

A terracotta, ceramic, and porcelain teapot is often decorated with Japanese decoration. In addition to being pretty, its material holds the tea without leaving traces of its passage. The Japanese cast iron teapot often features refined decorative reliefs. The glass teapot, on the other hand, is chosen for its design and is appreciated for brewing teas that give the pleasure of being observed, such as flower teas.

What is the ideal capacity of a teapot for brewing?

Depending on the product you choose, the capacity may vary. In our selection of teapots, you can find teapots with a capacity ranging from 600 ml to 1,200 ml. Depending on the capacity of your teapot, you can brew more or less tea. Whether you choose a cast iron, porcelain, or glass teapot, it is suitable for all teas. Chinese black tea, as well as green or white tea, can be brewed in any teapot.
