The art and tradition of tea drinking originated in ancient China. And to this day, a huge number of the inhabitants of our planet love and prefer to drink tea. There are a large number of types and varieties of tea. And each of them is prepared and used in a special way.
A teapot is the most important attribute of a tea ceremony. It was invented even when people only learned about tea and began to drink it. Everyone knows that if tea is brewed incorrectly, then all its aromatic and taste qualities are lost instantly. Therefore, the art of proper brewing tea has been transmitted since ancient times. But fashion and other various factors have made changes in the processes of consumption and brewing. And the teapot itself has changed over time.
According to historical data, the first special teapots were made of clay. And still the best material for them is considered to be red clay. Brewed in such a teapot, the drink was considered ancient Chinese healing. Around the 12-14th centuries, a metal teapot appeared. In English traditions there were earthenware sets. They were very popular because faience was very hot and kept warm for a very long time, which greatly benefited from the taste and aroma of tea. The most beautiful and expensive were silver and gold vessels. And closer to the 15th century, ceramics replaced metal and teapots began to make various bizarre shapes.
Today it is not difficult to buy this simple vessel for tea drinking. It is in almost every store. Moreover, the materials for manufacturing are used very different. One of the most popular is glass teapot. It is attractive and comfortable. In addition, glass does not affect the taste and aromatic properties of heated tea. The only minus of such tea ware - it quickly gets dirty. Each brewing of tea leaves a brown coating on the glass walls.
Teapots with filters for holding tea leaves are very convenient. It is also useful to purchase a fabric cover-cap, which additionally maintains the temperature for better brewing. The best is a round-teapot with a narrow neck and lid with a small, even tiny hole.
