First, most of us like our tea either hot or iced – lukewarm is not so good. And microwaving a cold mug of tea does change the flavor and alter the brew. Since the late 19th century era keeping your tea hot with a tea cozy was simple and it still is today. Green Tea is by far the growing trend in the tea world and green tea is much more challenging to keep hot. Green tea leaves unfurl and brew at a much lower temperature then black tea so the brew tea starts off much cooler to begin with. Covering your teapot with a cozy allows you to enjoy all that good green tea at the nice hot temperature.
The other good reason to choose a tea cozy is our custom designer fabrics and trims. We have our tea cozies hand made by local artisans. Brenda chooses designer fabrics and trims – which become quite a centerpiece for your kitchen and dining area. Yet several are kitchen-whimsical or unusual like the camouflage.
I couldn’t find any tea cosies on FB. Where are they?
Hi Vicki! The first one is scheduled to post today a little after 3pm. There is a different one posting every day or every other day. So, be sure to check back on the Facebook page daily. If you see one that fits your personality and decor personal message us through Facebook and we can put your name on it. Thank you!! Selena Speaks
I read the story in the KC Star this morning about your Downton Abby tea. So nice to see that kind of story and about a place I know and love. Even watched the video. Again, such a nice thing to wake up to.
Joyce – thank you so much! We look forward to having you back for tea time. We appreciate your words very much!
What size tea pots do they fit? I have several sizes including tea for one sets in a variety of different heights and widths. P.S. I am a relic who doesn’t face book.
The plop-on style tea cozy are made large enough to fit at teapot from a single cup teapot up to a 6 cup. The tea snuggles (wrapped around with spout out) are three different sizes. It is easiest to “try-on” these snuggles over your teapot to get the best fit. When we use the tea snuggles we will often go larger so that it will fit several teapots – then use a rubber band or a ribbon to cinch the top around smaller teapots.
Both cozies and snuggles are versatile. 🙂 Thanks so much for asking!!!
