Hario “Pure” Leaf Tea Pot… Beautifully Holds 4 Cup Servings

May 11, 2020 by Joi Leave a Comment

The Hario “Pure” Leaf Tea Pot (Amazon link) is absolutely one of the best ways to get every delicious note and flavor from your tea leaves. Not only that, it looks downright handsome sitting on your counter.

Heat treated glass
Stainless steel mesh strainer
Glass lid
4-Cup size
Glass handle

One of the features I like best about this one is the 4 cup size. A lot of tea leaf pots are geared toward one or two cups of tea, which always leaves me complaining, “They don’t know me very well!” I’m not sure I’ve ever been or ever will be in the mood for just one or two cups of tea. My favorite mug, itself, holds a little more than two and if my husband is joining me in the moment, I’m pretty sure he’d want more than the scant amount I’d leave him.

Description from Amazon:

All Hario teapots are made of heat-resistant glass produced from main materials, such as silica, borax and boric acid refined from 100-percent natural minerals. With a generous size stainless steel mesh strainer any tea can be brewed to a great taste, black, green, white, oolong, or herbal. Stylish appearance.

Everything Zen Teapot: Beautiful Gift Idea for Tea Lovers

Everything Zen Teapot with Bamboo Trivet

I’ve been looking high, low, in, out, and right, left for the most beautiful and unique Christmas gift ideas for tea lovers and tea drinkers and the beauty above actually came to me! I was sent an Everything Zen Teapot (with its beautiful bamboo trivet) in exchange for telling my tea blog readers about it.

I love mine so much I couldn’t wait to let you know abut it – I’m certain this will make an ideal gift for any tea lover in your life… including yourself!

I love that this is a quick, convenient way to infuse whole leaf tea – but there’s more to love than that. A lot of infusers are clunky and… if we’re being honest.. anything but pretty and relaxing, whereas “pretty and relaxing” are right in the Everything Zen Teapot‘s wheelhouse!

Needless to say, it’s wonderful looks (and relaxing, zen-like vibe) would be for naught if it didn’t make a perfect little pot of tea. I’m thrilled to say that it does its job beautifully. I have made every kind of loose leaf tea in the world with this little beauty and it’s fabulous each and every time.

The one I used when photographing my Everything Zen Teapot was a Strawberry Loose Leaf tea from Adagio… a personal obsession!

Everything Zen Teapot Features

Elegant design. Makes two mug size servings perfect for one or two people. Our teapot is handmade and brings a little bit of Zen to your home. We can all use more of that these days.
The generously sized tea infuser is food-grade stainless steel with a custom fit bamboo coaster.
Microwave and dishwasher safe.
The Perfect Tea Pot is also the perfect gift! It’s not always easy to find unique gifts, and here you have one!
Glass teapots are the ultimate way to brew tea, and it’s so relaxing to see the tea while it is steeping, all those flavors, essences, and colors blending into the water.

About Everything Zen

Everything Zen was founded by two Southern California friends with the vision of creating high-end, visually stunning products that make your life a little easier. The city of Los Angeles often feels like a whirlwind and it is easy to get swept away. We chose our flagship product to be a teapot to celebrate the ancient use of tea for its many health benefits, as well as for the quality of encouraging us to take pause in our busy lives. At Everything Zen we aren’t trying to stop the winds, but rather to offer some of the essentials that we have found helpful to find sanctuary within the eye of the storm. So that in those times when we all find ourselves in the chaos, we can stop, take a breath, clear our minds, have some tea and make everything just a bit more Zen.

The Everything Zen Loose Teapot with Bamboo Trivet (I’m crazy about the design on this lovely trivet) is everything you’d want in a loose leaf teapot and then some. I’m crazy about mine and guarantee you anyone on your list will be just as crazy about their’s.

Crazy Tea Chick Idea: Giving a bag of loose leaf tea (Adagio’s Strawberry or Blood Orange Loose Leaf Tea are just two of the many choices) along with this teapot makes your gift extra special. This way, they can enjoy their new favorite teapot right away… and maybe even share a mug with you!

A Favorite Quote About Tea Make a VERY Memorable Tea Pot

May 19, 2019 by Joi Leave a Comment

I’m not sure if the hobby even has a name, but I’ve been a collector of quotes since I first learned to write. Well, almost that long. I do know that I was already a firm member in the Quotes Collectors Club by the time I was in 7th grade.

One of my favorite quotes about tea is, “Come, let us have tea and talk about happy things.” Actually, it’s one of my favorite quotes about anything because it involves two of my all-time favorite things… tea and happy things!

Come on, how are you going to beat that duo?

Unique and Gorgeous Whistling Tea Kettle

January 16, 2019 by Joi Leave a Comment

This Riwendell Whistling Tea Kettle (Stainless Steel) is one of the best looking, most deliciously unique, teapots or kettles I’ve seen in a while.

A very long while!

The handle, the lid, the decorative sides of the pot, itself… What can I say? This one has me swooning.

From Amazon:

The handle is ergonomically designed for optimal comfort and grip and the spring-loaded lever easily opens and closes the spout.
Non toxic plastic thermal insulation handle, imitation wood grain
The kettle whistles loudly when boiling to notify you it is finished.
High-grade stainless steel construction guards against rust

A gorgeous gift idea, the Riwendell Whistling Tea Kettle might just look better in your own kitchen. I’m currently preparing to introduce my teapot collection to this exotic beauty as we speak.

October 4, 2018 by Joi Leave a Comment

Ever have something sneak up on you – something you’d never really thought a great deal about and then suddenly, you love it with ever fiber of your being?

That’s my relationship with peacocks, to a tee.. or to a feather. I’ve always been a huge animal and bird lover – and I mean HUGE – but peacocks weren’t any more or less on my radar than any other bird.

Then I saw a few up close, in person, and they are a complete an utter obsession now. They’re just spectacular and I’m not sure how I ever got along without them. If you’re as crazy about peacocks as I am (or if you simply love beautiful teapots and uncommonly beautiful teacups), you’re going to be as wild about this Peacock Teapot and Teacup Set as I am.

This gorgeous set includes 6 teacups, 6 saucers, 6 spoons (too cute!), 1 beautiful sugar bowl, 1 fancy milk cup, and 1 Teapot

From Amazon:

Porcelain surface delicate and smooth, easy to clean, noble and elegant.
Meet time,Space-time conversion,Classical inheritance,We are good intentions of each piece of porcelain
Lead free quality, long service life, and never fade
Microwave and dishwasher safe for your convenience

They’re available in many different colors but my personal favorites are the blues and the green and setgreen (shown). If you have tea lovers on your Christmas list, this would be a gift they’ll talk about all year long!
