Did you buy the right teapot for brewing old white tea?

Brewing tea is a popular activity all year round, and the best utensils for the job often spark debate.

But which is best for brewing white tea: a glass, iron or stoneware teapot? A glass teapot is highly recommended for brewing white tea.

Glass kettles are an excellent option, particularly for beginners.

There are four advantages to brewing tea in a glass kettle, making the process both simple and enjoyable.

Firstly, the glass material prevents any odour from entering the tea, thus preserving its original flavour.

Consider the glass teapot and bowls we use for fruit in our daily lives.

Most of these come into direct contact with food, and because glass is a simple material, it doesn't absorb odours.

Similarly, brewing tea does not affect its flavour.

Brewing tea in a glass kettle enables you to brew a truly authentic cup of tea. Secondly, a glass kettle enables you to monitor the brewing time precisely.

Its transparency allows you to clearly observe the colour changes in the tea and determine when to turn off the heat.

The timing of turning off the heat is crucial to the flavour of the tea.

Generally, it's time to turn off the heat when the liquid turns a deep golden colour.

If you prefer a lighter tea, turn off the heat earlier, and if you prefer a stronger tea, leave it to brew for a little longer.

Furthermore, brewing tea in a glass teapot is inherently relaxing.

Watching the tea leaves dance in the water and feeling the undulating movements of the leaves in the boiling water is a visual delight that brings joy.

Imagine sitting on a tatami mat on a rainy day with a book in one hand and a pot of boiling tea beside you, listening to the sound of rain outside the window — what a relaxing moment!

Finally, a glass teapot is also very easy to clean.

After brewing, you can see any stains immediately and wipe them clean easily with a sponge.

This means you can clean up faster and continue enjoying the aftertaste of tea without spending too much time on cleaning.
