The Best Teapot for Drinking Your Herbal Tea

Folks often ask me, “What’s the best teapot for herbal tea?” There are just so many options, from glass teapots to metal teapots and French press teapots. It can be daunting to know which teapot you should use for herbal tea!

So today, I’m going to show you what I use for making and drinking my herbal tea. You might be surprised…

What’s the Best Teapot for Herbal Tea?

I make my herbal teas in a good, old-fashioned pot or saucepan on the stove. Pretty simple!

However, after I make my tea in the saucepan, I put it in another pot so that I can drink my tea out of something I love. You want to find a teapot or something to drink out of that you think is beautiful or that has meaning to you or that you enjoy. I once read that people used to be buried with their tea paraphernalia — talk about loving your teapot!

I especially enjoy drinking out of my great-grandmother’s teapot, which was given to me by my aunt. It’s chipped and stained on the inside, but I love drinking out of it. This teapot was used in the 1800s and early 1900s. I just love thinking about my great-grandmother and her hands touching this. I wonder what they talked about when they drank tea, and what kind of tea she drank.

Do you have a beautiful teapot or mug that you love? Do you have something that when you drink out of it, you think, “Ooh”?

How You Feel While Drinking Tea

The thing is, how you feel while you are drinking tea is important. Your emotion actually goes into the water and the tea.

What you think, what you feel, and the beauty of what you drink from is part of the healing. Medicine takes many different forms and feeling beauty and joy from something as simple as the teacup or teapot that you drink from is also medicinal. It’s not just the medicine of the herbs that you’re getting.

You start honoring all levels of what goes into your tea drinking, from where the herbs are harvested to how the herb gets to you and how you make the tea.

When looking for the best teapot, you might consider materials like metal that stays warmer longer or glass where you can see the beautiful color of the tea. Maybe there’s a color or texture that you love. I recommend checking out the antique stores and thrift shops. It’s amazing what you can find.

Ultimately, you want a teapot that when you pick it up, you go, “Aah!” It should bring a sense of delight or interest or joy and that is part of the medicine.

So, what’s the best teapot for herbal tea? Well, the best teapot is the one that makes you happy when you hold and use it. The medicinal quality of your tea is powerful, but what you drink out of also really matters.
