Concert Teapot

"The most amazing teapot I own. For those complaining about the tea 'cooking', remove the strainer before serving."

"This is a very pretty teapot. The warmer keeps it 'warm' but not hot."

"This is a problem I can't believe no one has covered. This idea seems great, but here is the problem, something I didn't think about happening. The constant heat that comes from the tea light candle will continue to 'cook' the elements of the tea, altering it's fresh made flavors. The tea will become darker, and the fine characteristics of the tea begins to get covered up in a short time over the candle. This is coming from someone with not the greatest nose, but you can easily see it darkens cup after cup, and I can taste it changing. So if I notice it, others must be able to. I did Ali Shan, and Silver Needle White teas. It's as if the constant heat gives the tea a plain 'Lipton' tea flavor over time, that begins to cover up certain characteristics. The Ali Shan suffering this outcome far worse than my white tea. Probably not the best thing to steep Ali Shan in, since it is hard for the leaves to open, however even when done, after a half an hour over a candle, the tea is not the same as fresh. The idea behind this is to be able to drink warm tea over a long period. I will not, at the expense of what the tea is supposed to taste like. Sorry to burst someone's bubble, but if it was a light ambient heat over the entire kettle, it probably would not suffer this outcome. I am sticking with single cup brewing, as the flavor is always consistent, with a little more work. Perhaps this will not bother some people, but it certainly does me."

"This teapot is so beautiful. There's nothing like the candlelight, heat, and illuminated tea to make drinking tea an even better experience for all the senses."

"I love this teapot and use it almost daily. The tea light does an excellent job of keeping the tea warm. Only downside is the price. "

"This has to be the ultimate in both form and functionality. The vessel is of obviously high quality glass with almost no bubbles or imperfections, and feels solid and secure. The base is of equally high quality and feels extremely sturdy. My first time using it, I brewed a full pot of the Oolong #40, and it came out perfect, as expected. The extremely fine screened infuser ensures even infusion all around, and the candle This is the perfect teapot if you appreciate quality, beauty and great tasting teas. HIGHLY recommended."
