Teapots and Teaware | Gourmet Tea and Tea K-cups
A collection of Designer and Whimsical teapots for the teapot collector or for those that want to use them every day. Teaware and loose leaf tea.
A teapot is a vessel used for steeping tea leaves or a herbal mix in near-boiling water. Tea may be either in a tea bag or loose, in which case a tea strainer will be needed, either to hold the leaves as they steep or to catch the leaves inside the teapot when the tea is poured. Teapots usually have an opening with a lid at their top, where the tea and water are added, a handle for holding by hand and a spout through which the tea is served. Some teapots have a strainer built-in on the inner edge of spout. A small hole in the lid is necessary for air access inside to stop the spout from dripping and splashing when tea is poured. In modern times, a tea cosy may be used to enhance the steeping or to prevent the contents of the teapot from cooling too rapidly.

In the tradition of Tricia Foley's Having Tea, this charming, beautifully designed, and informative guide to properly making delicious green tea will appeal to tea drinkers new and old.
With its own aromas and delights, as well as a host of health benefits, including enhancing immune system function and lessening damage from free radicals, green tea continues to grow more popular in American diets. Yet because it is brewed differently, and many varieties of green tea are available, there is more to know about making a good cup of green tea than how to boil water.
This manual leaves no leaf unturned, introducing 16 of the most popular types of green tea, including Dragon Well, Sencha, Jasmine, and the Japanese tea Gen Mai Cha. It describes the three stages of bubbles to look for when boiling water and the various vessels in which to brew, from pots to small covered cups known as guywans. Lovely line drawings, original recipes, anecdotes, lore, and related green tea tips help to make this irresistible little book a perfect gift for anyone with a penchant for tea.

White Peony

White Peony, known locally as Pai Mu Tan, is a delicate tea made from tea buds collected and withered prior to opening. The latest medical findings suggest that white tea may be a more effective cancer fighter than even green tea. These findings have brought white teas to a much wider audience. If you are beginning your exploration of white tea, our "White A' Cappella" tea will serve a wonderful introduction.
Try white tea at your next gathering.
White teas are very high in antioxidants, which help reduce the risk of cancers. White teas also help strengthen your immune system, increase metabolism, detoxify your body and reduce the signs of aging.

- I adore Chai tea and also sometimes mix my own blend. I need to try one of the other flowering tea flavors you mention as the Jasmin one I tried (purely so that I could see and enjoy the flower unfolding in the carafe) is not a flavor that I enjoyed.
