An old Chinese proverb states that 'water is the mother of tea, a teapot its father, and fire the teacher.' Wise words, but this little teapot infuser made us wonder… What came first, the tea or the teapot?

 

Leave the philosophy for later, and focus on that no-confusion individual infusion. Simply open the lid of the stainless steel teapot to fill to half way with your favourite loose leaf tea, tap the lid shut and immerse in your teacup until you've reached the ideal infusion. The teapot even comes complete with a little tray to catch any drips once you remove it from the cup. Lovely.
