Ceramic Teapots

Video Transcript

"Now how do you brew tea with a ceramic tea pot? This is a bee house, a Japanese made ceramic tea pot. And most of them will come with a tea filter inside. And when you do not see a tea filter, make sure to check the spout, to make sure that the filter is built inside the tea pot. When selecting one, make sure you select one with the right size of how much tea you want to consume. If you buy a ceramic pot that's a bit too big, your tea will get really cold by the time you get half way down. And when you are selecting a tea pot, I usually recommend something about this size, about ten ounces to sixteen ounces. I always like the bee house tea pots because they are microwave safe, so you just have to take out the metal parts as I just did, and the filter, you can microwave your hot water, then you do the whole process of adding the tea leaves and wait the three to five minutes. And it's dishwasher safe. There are other styles of ceramic tea pots and it's used like any other tea pot, but it doesn't hold the water temperature warm for too long. You need to finish it in a short time, maybe half hour to an hour. Unlike the cast iron where you can prolong your conversation with a friend and enjoy your tea pot for a little longer."
