Frequently Asked Questions

What teapot is best for tea?

For delicate and fragrant teas like green or white tea, a glass teapot is an excellent choice. The transparent glass allows you to fully appreciate the colour and clarity of these teas while they brew. If you’re a fan of herbal or loose-leaf teas that need plenty of space to expand while steeping, a larger ceramic teapot might be perfect for you. Ceramic retains heat well and helps enhance the flavours of your favourite blends. For convenience, consider an electric teapot with quick heating and temperature control. And for traditional options, cast iron and Chinese-style clay pots offer durability and effective heat retention.

Can you put a ceramic teapot on the stove?

In general, it is not recommended to put a ceramic teapot directly on a stove or any direct heat source, as most ceramic teapots are not designed for stovetop use. Ceramic teapots are typically made from materials that are not intended to withstand high levels of direct heat, and exposing them to a stovetop can lead to cracking, breakage, or damage to the teapot.

Why are cast iron teapots popular?

Cast iron teapots are commonly a favourite of tea lovers due to their ability to retain heat, ensuring your tea stays hot long after boiling. They're also incredibly resilient and less likely to suffer heat-shock than ceramic or glass teapots when placed on the stove, while also being more durable and less likely to break if accidentally dropped. These types of teapot are recommended for those who enjoy loose leaf teas that require time for the tea to brew and infuse its flavour within the pot.
