I love tea.
The glass teapot
Tea anyone?
Persian Rose Petal Tea (or chai as it’s called – pronounced cha-ee) to Indian Chai (my grandmother used to make it for me from her days living in India), relaxing Camomile Tea to healthy Green Tea, fresh Mint Tea and dates to detoxing Nettle Tea, English Breakfast Tea to Earl Grey Tea. This tea to that tea. Well, you get the idea. In fact, I once thought about having a blog about ‘tea’ called…(stay tuned!)
Shall we?
A colourful treat
In particular, I love drinking it when it is pretty to look at. Half the experience is in the eyes. That is why I love the glass teapot.
Too steamy!
It is a simple, sensible and modern design. It’s perfectly pleasing on the eyes, especially for drinking herbal teas (imagine the beauty of a Jasmine flower blooming in the hot water). And it makes an ordinary experience feel like an extraordinary one. The glass teapot, very ‘it’ indeed. Oh, and I just LOVE IT.
You can get yours here or here.

That really is a pretty teapot. Thanks for the links 🙂
i know…so different, yet so simple…glad you found the links useful
I recently bought a couple of glass teapots and I spend as much time watch the tea in it as drinking from it.
Tea is comfort “food.” A friend recommended Three-Leaf tea to help with sleep, and it is very relaxing. It’s a couple of years old now, but I wrote a story that made it into Chicken Soup for the Tea Lover’s Soul. Here in Hawaii we love tea, too, and there are several restaurants that offer special tea service (with the bite-sized sandwiches and sweets). And, yes, that is a gorgeous glass teapot.
wow never heard of three-leaf tea! where can i read your story?
Ooops, I should have said Triple Leaf Tea, Inc., which is the name of the company. It’s their Relaxing Tea. As for the story, you can find the book in most bookstores, I think, and just read the story (My Mother’s Tea Set) while standing in the aisle. There are a lot of other great tea stories in the book, and all Chicken Soup stories are pretty short. Unfortunately, they don’t put them online.
I have been longing for a teapot just like that – you have inspired me to finally get one!
Best,

yes pls get one and let ,me know where you got it and what it looks like…or better yet, paint what it looks like!!!
Love the tea pot… you cannot beat a good cuppa…There is a company in Australia who have the best green tea called Gorgeous Geisha infused with strawberries, It is great…. Together with a berry muffin, it is the best morning tea!
thanks for that information…shall keep my eyes out for it!!! i assume you can get it outside australia?
The company is called T2, I think they have online sales so you should be able to get it.
Wow. I’ve never seen a glass teapot before. If I had one, I’m sure I’d drink more tea just because it’s so pretty!
you need to get one then!!!
Lovely photos – one can never have too much tea in my opinion. Very elegant!
i agree….can never get enoughtea and when the caffeine gets too much i move on to herbal teas!!!
❤ it!!!
that is so cool – ❤ – learnt a new thing!!!
lol yeyy!!!
I love tea very much too! I saw the same tea pot being served in a famous dim sum restaurant in San Francisco! Thanks for liking my post.
Ooohhh San Francisco. Have always wanted to visit!!! LOVE dim sum!

I love the glass teapot!! Amazing 🙂 I love those teas you get in chinese restaurants that are in shape of flowers which open up as the water heats them – that would be amazing in one of these 🙂
