What is the variety of teapots we have? Are there many choices? Do you know the different varieties from which to choose? It is true that design a teapot is not an easy task. However, the most usual and common teapots are four: Black porcelain, White porcelain, Glass teapot, Pottery teapot. With this article, I want you to show some most beautiful teapots, examples of creative work.
Clay teapots
Clay teapots have been around since the Ming dynasty. However, they have only recently started to become popular here in the US. They offer a variety of advantages over their plastic and glass favorite counterparts. These little beauties are also called brewing vessels and are used in place of a teapot or gaiwan.The actual purpose of clay teapot is really just to compensate for the general flatness of the flavor of green tea.
Clay teapots are the best choice for brewing loose-leaf Earl Grey. The clay absorbs the tea’s flavor, which gives a unique taste that blends well with the bergamot of an Earl Grey. Clay also retains temperature well, so your tea stays hot longer than a porcelain teapot, and this allows the aroma to keep infusing into your tea.
Porcelain teapots
Porcelain teapots are a great way of investing in your caffeine consumption. Their resolute durability, coupled with their rich and intricate looks, make these traditional vessels wonderful additions to your kitchen.
Porcelain teapots are the preferred vessel for steeping various types of tea leaves around the world. The Chinese began using porcelain teaware as early as the Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE), and in due course, teapots were produced in the famous kilns at Jingdezhen. The majority of tea consumed in Europe and its colonies during the 17th through 19th centuries was steeped in porcelain by preference; silver teapots were reserved for display purposes or the consumption of black tea.
Silver teapots
Silver teapots are relatively heavy and are made from multiple parts. In the past, these silver teapots were used to boil water in order to make tea. Nowadays, most people don’t typically boil water to make their tea. Instead, they prefer using either a coffee maker or an electric kettle with a heating element to help heat up the water.Nevertheless, silver teapots were the fashion in which tea was consumed during the 18th and early 19th centuries. It was believed that the technology used to make white silver made it possible to make a teapot that would keep the tea warm for longer than a black one.
Glass teapots
Have you ever noticed that your tea always tastes better in a glass teapot? And does the simple addition of teapots like these make your day feel just that little bit longer, a little bit brighter, and a little bit less stressful? Maybe it’s the knowledge that you don’t need to worry about any toxic metals corroding into your tea or coffee. Glass teapots have so many benefits over traditional stainless steel ones. They are attractive, easier to clean, and just look more sophisticated. But, as a long-time fan, I was slightly hesitant to switch to a glass teapot and worried that it would be less durable than my old faithful stainless steel guy.
