Okay, so I’ve been wanting to get a new teapot for a while now. I drink a lot of tea, especially in the winter, and my old one was just… old. I saw this hyacinth teapot with a warmer online and thought, “That’s the one!” It looked so pretty, and the idea of keeping my tea warm for longer? Sold!

So I ordered it. When it finally arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I carefully unboxed it – it was packed really well, thankfully. The teapot itself is this lovely, clear glass, and the base, the warmer part, is this ceramic material. It’s got this little spot for a tealight candle underneath.
First things first, I rinsed out the teapot and the infuser basket. The infuser is glass too, with these tiny little slits in it. Seems like it’ll be easy to clean, which is a huge plus.
My First Brew
- I boiled some water in my electric kettle. I always use filtered water for my tea – makes a difference, I swear!
- While the water was heating up, I measured out some loose leaf Earl Grey into the infuser. I’m a big Earl Grey fan.
- I then carefully put the teapot onto it’s warmer.
- Once the water was ready, I poured it over the tea leaves in the infuser, filling the teapot up.
- Then, the fun part: I lit a tealight candle and placed it in the warmer base, right under the teapot. It fit perfectly.
I let the tea steep for about five minutes, watching the color slowly deepen. The candle in the warmer gave off this cozy little glow. It was pretty relaxing, honestly.
Finally, I poured myself a cup. The tea was perfectly hot, and the warmer definitely did its job. I sat back, enjoyed my tea, and read a book for a good hour, and the tea stayed nice and warm the whole time. No more lukewarm, sad tea!
Cleaning was easy too. I just dumped out the tea leaves, rinsed everything with warm water, and let it air dry. Super simple.
Overall, I’m super happy with this teapot. It’s functional, it’s pretty, and it makes my tea-drinking experience feel a little more special. Definitely a good purchase!
