Great Pots for Tea Lovers!

Sooner — Thu, 23 Dec 2021 18:31:54 GMT

I have a lot of FORLIFE products and have been very happy with all of them, but I especially like the glass Bola 14 oz teapot I have! It makes great tea. I put it in the dishwasher or it's easy to clean when you pop off the silicone top, it has a good filter for loose tea and I can see how dark the tea is as it brews.

They make several teapots, and you can get them from large delivery companies, tea companies and such around the web. I love their ceramic teapots too, and mugs and Asian teacups (we use these all the time for fruit, individual salsa servings and such).

Anyway, I thought some of you might enjoy these teapots. I have had mine a couple of months and use it all the time.

@Sooner,

I will definitely check this out! I have been a tea lover for many many years and have a nice collection of teapots!

@Sooner! (fellow tea lover)

I have stumps, curves, bells, yixing and 1 smaller glass teapot that I got just to see the flower unfold.

My question to you is....what kind of mug or teacup do you generally use? Mine is the wide brimmed Harney one.

@Harpa Oh that is a loaded question! Don't ask my husband!!! Actually he knows.

If I make a pot I usually use a smaller cup--a Kinto Ripple mug. I have some large Le Creuset mugs that I love for bigger, cool-weather tea because it keeps warm longer. And I have some Villeroy and Boch Brindille mugs we both love. They are taller and not huge.

I have 11-oz ForLife Dew satin finish brew-in-mug with basket infuser and stainless lid that are used a lot--almost daily for tea. We have two white and two lemon grass ones! They have mug, filter, lid/teabag holder all in one! Now how great is that for loose tea? LOL!!!! That Amazing on line seller has them and FORLIFE has a great web site too.

Summer, maybe a cup and saucer or mug from a dish set we have and LOTS of iced tea glasses!

Too much information? Funny for me to think about but that's the routine and hubby knows which cup for which situation!

No! Not too much information! It was...interesting! (Letting me know I'm in the little league when it comes to tea & tea service!)

The only other cups I, personally use are my Brambley Hedge cups & mugs for coffee & occasional hot chocolate. But always the Harney because I want my tea to cool faster.

Here's to the New Year @Sooner !

Here's to the New Year @Sooner ! And that yellow cup below!

@Harpa LOL!!! The Little Leagues! That's funny.

And that reminds me I may have a Brambly Hedge mug stashed somewhere. Someone gave us a couple a long time ago. One was about the marriage. Gosh maybe I do still have those.

And yes! To the NEW Year!
