I'm in the market to up my tea game...

I fondly remember making tea in a massive pot at one of my older workplaces.

I'd like to get a tea-pot....I think two cups would be the perfect size.....What teapot do you recommend?

Also please share your variations on the brew.

Spasiba!

typically one lightly rounded tsp assam leaves - brewed circa 30s, proper boiling water from kettle (no cooker)

Tetley tea bags, one per cup left to brew for a minute. Note heat cups with boiling water and water must be boiling when poured into the cup. Add milk to taste last. For me just a splash.
 
I can't use my phone to take pics or post previous tea related pics as it's charging at the moment and I can't disrupt the session as I am tracking some metrics. You know how it is :eek:

But, Earl Grey or authentic Chai is my daily brew.

I have at least 19 blends of black teas as well, filtered water of course.

Don't get the metal ones that are for catering sets etc the spouts are useless they always dribble. Same with the milk jug. Decent ceramic pot any will do

Darjeeling, Earl Grey isn't what it used to be. Green tea for a change which reminds me I'm out of it. Supermarket brands are better than Typhoo etc which are little more than sweepings off the floor. :)
 
Only if you buy generic Earl Grey. lady and Earl grey are every bit as good as they've been in the past, the recipe hasn't changed. Stick to the established brands and you will only find the more bespoke blends of these in specialist tea shops.
