I love making tea in my teapot!  I use loose leaves, and my teapot has a built-in strainer on the inside edge of the spout.
I love my teapot too! Its just a regular teapot from like Walmart, not a special collectible one
I'm sure it works fine!  But since I use loose tea, a tea strainer is a big help - I hate picking leaves out of my tea!
Eww yeah. I tend to use premade tea bags in mine!
I do too once in awhile. Does your teapot have a hole in the lid like an air hole to prevent dripping when you pour the tea?
Yes it does, it really helps! It also has a big handle too!
Yeah, that's important - I've dripped hot tea on my hand before and it hurts!  Some have a thermal cover like a tea cosy to keep the tea hot.
Oh they do? Ill have to look into that, I tend to turn off the stove and then forget about it..
the tea cosy. Sometimes, if the tea is served in a restaurant or in a hotel, the teapot is covered with a tea cosy that has a metal exterior to protect the inner fabric of the cosy from wear and tear and also to further improve the insulation of the teapot. A special tea cosy is the so-called tea lugger, which enables the hot teapot to be carried around easily.
Tea cosies may sometimes be made in matching sets with items such as tablecloths, oven gloves, or aprons.
