I most certainly do not need any more ceramics in my household, but if I were in the market for a teapot, I would choose one of these. They are handmade in Japan, and molded from gourds and coconuts to give each piece a unique and natural shape. Lovely.
I have owned at least two Bodum glass tea pots and use it every day. I am an avid tea drinker and use a different tea pot for black tea and one for green tea. I have been using a traditional Japanese cast iron tea pot for my green tea and the Bodum glass tea pot for my black tea (Typhoo). After spending time in Japan it doesn’t seem right to steep green tea in an ordinary glass or ceramic tea pot. So of course I was thrilled when I found this Bodum Assam Cast Iron Tea Pot for my green tea. I love the heft and weight of the cast iron tea pot combined with the functionality of the built-in tea press. Now I can have the best of both worlds in one great looking tea pot.
Absolutely gorgeous…read more over at TheFind.
Need something to pour in your new teacup? Concoct your own herbal medicinal brew in this sunny, self-warming pot. (I’m sure it does tea just as well as “herbal medicine,” but herbal medicine is so much more mysterious and fun to say.)
And as a somewhat tangential FYI: Vivabox, one of our past sponsors, is offering a 25% discount on their Fragrance and Bar-B-Que gift boxes from now through February 14. I’m partial to the Fragrance collection, which includes 10 sample scents, plus a gift certificate to Sephora for a full-size bottle; but I’m sure that if someone grilled me up a fat filet from the Bar-B-Que box, I wouldn’t exactly turn my nose up at it.
