Alright, so I’ve been on this whole kick lately of really getting into tea. Not just your basic tea bag in a mug, but the whole shebang with loose leaf tea and a proper teapot. It’s like, there’s something super chill about taking the time to brew a nice pot of tea and just, you know, enjoy the moment. But there’s one thing that always bugged me – the tea gets cold way too fast!
I mean, I’d settle in with my book and my freshly brewed tea, and before I knew it, I was sipping on lukewarm sadness. Not cool. So, I started looking into ways to keep my tea warm for longer. I saw some electric warmers, but that felt like overkill for my little tea setup. Then I stumbled upon this thing called the Bodum Chambord Teapot Warmer. It’s basically this little metal stand that you put a tea light candle in, and it heats up the bottom of your teapot.
Honestly, I was a bit skeptical at first. Like, could a tiny candle really keep a whole pot of tea warm? But I figured, what the heck, let’s give it a shot. I already had a Bodum teapot, the one-liter size, so it seemed like a good match.
When the warmer arrived, I noticed it was a bit bigger than I expected. I mean, it’s not huge, but it’s definitely wider than my teapot base. It’s made of this chrome-plated stainless steel, so it looks pretty sleek and modern, which is cool.
So, here’s how it went down: I brewed my tea as usual, popped a tea light into the warmer, lit it up, and set my teapot on top. Then, I got comfy on the couch with my book and waited. And you know what? It actually worked! My tea stayed nice and warm for a good while. I was honestly surprised. It wasn’t piping hot the whole time, but it definitely wasn’t that lukewarm disappointment I was used to.
Here is how to use the Bodum Warmer
- First, brew a pot of your favorite tea.
- Then, I put a tea light candle in the warmer.
- Next, I lit the candle.
- Finally, I placed my teapot on top of the warmer.
Now, like I said, the warmer is a bit wider than my teapot, so it’s not a perfect fit. It still looks alright, though, not totally ridiculous or anything. Overall, I’m pretty happy with this little gadget. It’s a simple, stylish way to keep my tea warm without any fancy electric stuff. Plus, there’s something kind of cozy about the flickering candle while you’re enjoying your tea. If you’re into the whole tea ritual thing like me, I’d say it’s worth checking out.
