Is a teapot a necessity?

Of course not, but what a beautiful way to make tea in a teapot!

In the past, we could always find a teapot or two in the cupboards of our homes. But what about now? Many people have never spent money on a teapot, and there are many who have never touched a teapot in their lives. It is clear that the teapot is getting farther and farther away from our lives.

Britain is known as the ‘kingdom of black tea’, but most British people drink tea bags. I think in the near future, the habit of making tea in a teapot will also gradually fade out of Japanese life. It is true that with a tea cup and a tea strainer, you can basically make a decent cup of tea. If you use a tea bag, it is even easier, as you only need a tea cup and hot water. If this is still too much trouble, go for bottled tea. In short, you can buy tea and drink it anytime and anywhere.

However, in such a convenient era, we can also do the opposite, starting from warming the teapot and operating it step by step, taking time, effort and effort for a cup of tea. To get into the habit of making tea, only a teapot is not enough, but you also have to get together the tea cones, jars and various tools for storing tea leaves. Some people may think ‘it’s so much trouble …..’ , some people think ‘just have to enjoy the process’.

Tea is indeed a casual drink, but it has also undergone the baptism of the ages, and the concept of ‘drinking tea = cultivating your body and soul’ has long been deeply rooted in people’s hearts and passed down from generation to generation, so drinking tea is also seen as an elegant hobby. And having a professional tea set is like feeling a side of traditional culture through drinking tea, which is one of the major charms of tea.
