We’ve regarded tea as our national drink here in the UK for many years, but the way that tea is generally served, using a tea bag in a cup, rather than leaf tea in a pot, has contributed to the decline of this wonderful and refreshing drink.

Leaf tea is (usually), better quality than the tea to be found in tea bags, and there is a tremendous variety in the style and strength of tea to be found. Better still, even the more expensive and rare leaf teas are usually extremely reasonable when compared to other drinks.

All Beehouse Pots are made in Japan, and have two things in common – they’re beautifully made and very practical. 

In the past, the convenience and ‘mess free’ aspect of tea bags have led to their popularity. With a Bee House Teapot, you have the same convenience, with no need to compromise on the quality of the tea that you drink.

Simply spoon the leaves into your infuser, add water to the brim of your pot (just off the boil), and allow to steep. When you have an infusion of the desired strength, simply pour your tea and enjoy. If you wish to have a second round, it is usually possible to re-infuse your leaf tea again, to offer a subtly different infusion. When it’s time to clean up, just remove the infuser from the pot (nested in the rim), empty into a bin, and rinse out. No tea leaves in your drink, no mess in your sink, just wonderful fresh tea.

Bee House teapots are designed to be filled to the brim, and emptied when the 1st serving round is completed, so we suggest that you consider a smaller pot than you might normally use, to ensure that your leaves are not left in water to stew in your infuser. Typically, we recommend that you have one of our smaller pots for when you are drinking alone, along with a larger one for drinking with company.

We always specify the number of cups that a pot will serve, using a typical cup volume of 150ml. If you prefer to use a mug, then you should allow approx. 200ml as a typical mug volume. So, be Eco friendly, use a pot that is the size that you need, boil less water, and re-use good quality leaf tea.
