When my friend Amanda came to Christmas tea at my house, she surprised me with a gift of a pretty turquoise blue teapot and tea bag rest. I just now got around to trying out the set, and I love it! I believe she said she found it at Ross. It's marked BIA Cordon Bleu, which I had not heard of before.
I don't believe I've ever had a teapot with a matching tea bag rest before, so I thought it was such a nice touch to find these two pieces that match!
And I'm happy to report that the strainer of this infuser basket is so fine, I could even use this teapot with rooibos tea and it strained the tea perfectly. One thing I've noticed is that when I have pretty new teaware, it makes me drink even more tea. Do you find yourself drinking more tea when you get a new teapot or teacup?
What a thoughtful, lovely, and useful gift. It's perfect for you!
ReplyDeleteWhen I have sometimg new, I'm always eager to try it out! Your new teapot is darling, and the perfect color for you.
ReplyDeleteI love the turquoise colour and matching bag rest. It's so compact with the strainer I think you will enjoy it a lot. Try out all those loose leaf teas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty teapot. We have one in green that is very similar. It was a gift to me, but my husband decided it was his. Lost that one, but oh well, I do have a few others to choose from.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! It’s always nice when the strainer can be used with all types of teas.
ReplyDeletePretty blue - tiffany blue? What a lovely gift -- a nice memory each time you use it. Enjoy your tea!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Friends who give teapots are the best!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty color! And a cut size, too! What fun to receive surprise gifts.
