Glass Teapot and Cup Sets – How to Use Them and Benefits

1. Glass Teapot and Cup Sets – How to Use Them and Benefits How you steep your tea is what makes your tea drinking experience fun and exciting. There is something beautiful and elegant when it comes to a tea ritual. Loose leaf tea or floral teas placed in a glass teapot is a pure delight to watch, as the leaves or flowers unfurl and create an art piece in the glass teapot, as the water steeps with aroma and flavour. Watching the art of the tea steeping can enhance your tea preparation and drinking experience, adding a visual element, that is almost magical. To ensure your tea drinking experience is special you will want to choose a tea made of beautiful whole flowers, which really look spectacular when made in a glass teapot. They are bundles of flowers, carefully wrapped to ensure that they open as a spectacular dance for every cup you drink. Loose leaf teas including your black, green and white teas are all beneficial in a glass teapot. You can actually watch as your leaves rehydrate, unfurl adding flavour and aroma to your tea. Remember to heat the water as per the directions from your tea specialist. Not all teas have to reach full boiling point. In fact, black and herbal teas should be at almost boiling, while green and white teas do better at a cooler temperature. Warm your teapot by pouring some hot water in it to get it warm before you add your tea and water. This also reduces the risk of the teapot cracking. Add your water to the pot and then your tea. Some pots come with infusers, which take away from the visual element of making tea in a glass teapot, especially pearl varieties. All teas will come with their own steep time. Green teas are usually around three minutes to avoid the tea becoming bitter, black teas may require up to five minutes and many herbal teas require more than five minutes to infuse with flavour. If you oversteep herbal teas, you stand the risk of them becoming bitter. One of the reasons why glass teapots and cups are such a popular choice with tea lovers is that they look stylish. The transparency of the glass is attractive and gives you a chance to really wow your guests when offering them a cup of tea. The look of the pot and the dance that takes place inside adds a psychological taste. Glass teapots are almost one hundred percent chemical free, unlike other iron and aluminium tea pots. This means that when you make your tea the pot will not discolour or add any other flavours to the tea, so you can enjoy a pure cup of tea every time. Glass teapots are made from borosilicate glass, which is durable and long lasting. It is a combination of boron trioxide and silica, which

When you look at the other teapots on the market, from clay to iron or aluminium, the glass teapot gives you a clear visual experience as you watch your loose leaf or floral tea steep. You will soon learn the right colour of the tea, helping you quickly determine when its time to drink it. A great benefit is as you get to the bottom of the teapot, you can see when there is little water left, you are able to pour accordingly. Glass is very easy to clean and doesn't discolour like the other materials used in making tea ware. The effort used in cleaning a glass tea pot is not even worth mentioning. Al you need is a bit of water and soap, wash it and rinse.
