What is the best material for a teapot?
That really depends on how you take your tea. Porcelain and ceramic teapots are popular for a reason—they retain heat well, don’t affect flavour, and often come in timeless or decorative styles that suit traditional kitchens and contemporary tables alike. If you like to watch the infusion process, glass teapots offer a beautiful way to enjoy loose-leaf teas, especially when brewing flowering blends. For everyday durability, stainless steel is a strong contender, particularly when paired with insulated walls or infusers. Our collection includes all three, so whether you're making oolong in a sleek modern setup or serving Earl Grey to guests with a matching tea set, there’s a teapot that fits your ritual perfectly.
What is the optimum size for a teapot?
It comes down to how many cups you usually pour. A smaller teapot—something around 500ml—is ideal for solo drinkers or cosy moments with one other person. For a full household, brunch with friends, or a traditional cream tea, something in the 1 to 1.5 litre range is your best bet. That’s enough for multiple cups without constant refilling. The good news is, our teapots come in a range of sizes so you can match your needs without overdoing it. Some even include removable infusers, making it easy to brew loose leaves without needing extra strainers or fuss. Whether you're brewing one perfect cup or preparing a full table, size does matter—and the right teapot makes all the difference.
Why choose a teapot over just using a mug?
There’s something about the slow pour, the sharing, the ceremony of it all. A teapot turns a quick cuppa into something more intentional—whether you’re setting up for afternoon tea or just carving out five quiet minutes in a hectic day. It also helps with temperature control, keeping your brew warm while you chat or relax. And let’s not ignore the aesthetic appeal. A well-designed teapot adds character to the table or kitchen counter, whether you’re drawn to vintage charm or minimalist form. It’s not just about the tea—it’s about the pause, the presentation, and that small but welcome sense of ritual.
