Tea Accessories   Everyone has their favorite method of brewing and drinking tea so we have a wide range of accessories to suit your needs.   We carry  17 ounce and 24 ounce ipots in a variety of colors.  These are great for brewing a couple of cups of tea at a time.  These teapots come equipped with a stainless steel infuser basket and that can be removed for easy cleaning.  The teapot by itself can be washed in the dishwasher.     We have a variety of infuser mugs.  These are great for the office or at home.  Simply place tea in infuser portion and pour water over.  Allow to steep and remove the infuser portion to get your second brew.   This has become one of my favorite mugs.  It is great for at the office or when you are on the go.  Brew your herbals in the bottom portion of the cup and drink through screen or place black and green teas on the screen, put the top on and flip upside down to brew.  While this mug keeps your tea hot, your hands stay cool.     Gaiwans were traditionally used in China as a method of brewing tea.  Gaiwans are typically used to brew delicate teas like greens, and whites, but can really be used to brew any type of tea.  It takes a little practice to pour but it is a beautiful way to brew a cup a tea.      We also carry a variety of tea infusers.  We prefer to brew our loose leaf teas loose.  These infusers tend to crowd the tea and you miss out on some of the best flavors of the tea using them.  We lovingly refer to them as tea prisons.    This infuser sits over most tea cups.  Simply place the tea leaves in it and pour the hot water over the tea and allow to steep.  You can also use just as a strainer if you brew the tea loose in any other type of vessel.
