Alright, folks, let’s talk about this little gadget I picked up – the Bodum Assam teapot warmer. Now, I’m a big tea drinker, and there’s nothing worse than brewing a beautiful pot of tea only to have it go cold before you can enjoy it all. That’s where this warmer comes in.
First off, I did a bit of research online, looking at different teapots. I noticed a few brands like Bodum and GROSCHE, and some different models like the Assam and Chambord. Prices were all over the place, from around $25 to over $90! And sizes are around from 0.5L to over 1L. And they all said they were “dishwasher-safe”, “stainless steel filter”, “borosilicate clear tea kettle”. Eventually, I decided to focus on the Bodum Assam teapot warmer because, well, I already had a Bodum Assam teapot that I loved. Figured they’d be a good match.
So, I found one online, placed the order, and waited. It took over a week to arrive, I ordered it in the morning and received it after the next weekend. When the package finally arrived, I excitedly ripped it open. The warmer itself is pretty simple – it’s basically a small metal stand with a spot for a tea light candle. It looks pretty sleek and modern, which I appreciate.
Setting it up was a breeze. I grabbed a tea light candle, popped it into the holder, and lit it up. Then, I brewed a pot of my favorite Earl Grey in my Bodum Assam teapot. I found my teapot is 34oz. Once the tea was ready, I carefully placed the teapot on top of the warmer. It fit perfectly, which was a relief.
Now for the important part – did it work? Yes, it did! The tea stayed nice and warm for a good couple of hours. I was able to leisurely enjoy my tea without having to rush through it or reheat it in the microwave (which, let’s be honest, ruins the flavor).
Here’s a quick rundown of my experience:
- Easy to use: Literally just light a candle and you’re good to go.
- Keeps tea warm: Did exactly what it was supposed to do. My tea stayed at a perfect drinking temperature.
- Looks good: It’s a nice-looking addition to my little tea setup.
- Affordable: I got it at a good price online around $35.
Final thoughts
Overall, I’m really happy with my Bodum Assam teapot warmer. It’s a simple but effective way to keep my tea warm, and it looks good doing it. If you’re a tea lover like me, I definitely recommend giving it a try. You won’t be disappointed!
