It’s Teatime Enjoy some new faces at the table whether it’s tea for two ... or more  Image courtesy BonJour Interest in teatime continues to steam up across the nation, inspired by a new generation of pots, kettles and accessories that personalize the time-honored ritual. Across the United States, communities of all sizes have seen the proliferation of tea rooms both at commercial establishments and in homes. Tea connoisseur Bruce Richards says the renaissance reflects a deep-seeded need to slow down. “Remember that you have to wait for the water to boil, and wait for the leaves to circulate freely around the teapot. Then you need to wait a little longer to take a sip,” says Richardson, owner of Elmwood Inn Fine Teas in Perryville, Ky., and author of several tea books. The wait gives people an excuse to unwind. For those just warming up to the idea of teatime, you couldn’t have come at a better time. Penelope Carlevato, an Englishwoman considered a tea authority and owner of the online retail shop Penelope’s Tea Time, notes that a cottage industry has grown around teatime. Every year brings more diverse products. “Whatever you do, you need to start with a teapot that reflects your personality,” says Carlevato, who lives near Boulder, Colo. Then you can move on to tea cups and a kettle. Here are some popular newcomers: 1) Kitchen-product maker BonJour introduced a French-inspired infusion brewing glass teapot collection called Très Amies. As you wait, you can watch the water boil and the leaves unfurl, releasing their full flavor and fragrant aroma. The hand-blown glass teapots are priced between $50 to $60. 2) Another option for enjoying the transformation of the water into tea is with the Bodum Shin Cha Tea Press, which works like an Italian coffee press. The pot’s stainless steel infuser and stainless steel lid contrast with the hand-blown glass body. This system allows for easier clean up. A 42-oz tea press costs around $42. 3) From Asia comes the small clay YiXing tea pot that holds two cups of tea. The Chinese historically carried their personal YiXing teapot and drank directly from the spout. Richardson says the teapot sells well at his Kentucky shop. Of course, they’ve opted for a pot that resembles a horse. Price: $36. 4) The Roli Gourmet Three Piece Steeping System offers a mug designed for individual brewing. Made of durable stoneware, the tea steepers come in several colors and cost around $18. 5) Those on the go may enjoy the Health Tea Wand, a portable glass straw that brews and filters tea leaves, herbs, and infusions through strainer holes in the convenience of your own cup. Simply add hot water to tea leaves in a mug or teacup, stir with the wand and sip. |
