What’s a tea lover without a teapot?
While a tea infuser might do the trick, why not treat yourself to the gift of a teapot for a mindful moment each day? With the fast-paced life, from rushing to work to grocery shopping or getting the little ones ready for school, it can be easy to let the day slip past your fingers.
Set aside some ‘me time’ to take a deep breath and centre yourself with your favourite tea blend. Whether you’re a solo tea lover or having your loved ones over for a nightcap, a teapot is a must-have. And at T2, we have unique designs to suit everyone’s taste.

How to use a teapot
If you’ve found your perfect teapot match, it’s time to get brewing!
We recommend one teaspoon per teacup for a hot brew, which you can double for two tea parties. That said, if you like a strong brew, feel free to add another cheeky teaspoon!
How long you allow your tea leaves to sit in the water will vary depending on the type of tea. Whether you’re brewing black, green, fruity or herbal tea or other, simply read the instructions on the packet to ensure you brew your tea properly for the best results.
For a nifty little tip, swirl your teapot around with boiling water before blending your tea to remove the chill from the pot and keep your tea warmer for longer. Then, place your loose-leaf tea into the infuser, pour boiling water on top, wait the recommended time and cover with a teapot warmer. Even in a cast iron teapot, there’s no need to use a stove.
Cleaning your teapot
To give your teapot the TLC it needs to remain in near-new condition, simply follow our T2 care guide that comes with your teapot, as the cleaning varies depending on your teapot’s materials. For example, cast iron prefers a handwash without detergent and a gentle wipe after rinsing, while porcelain and fine bone china teapots mainly prefer a gentle touch.
