The Elephant Tea Pot’s design is based on an Asian Elephant in traditional Indian dress! India is one of the largest tea producers in the world, and this elephant teapot would be a natural vessel for Indian and Sri Lankan teas like Ceylon, Assam, and Darjeeling!
In his essay, “A Nice Cup of Tea,” famous British author and tea expert, George Orwell, famously talked about his preference in teas: “First of all, one should use Indian or Ceylonese tea ... Anyone who has used that comforting phrase 'a nice cup of tea' invariably means Indian tea.”
To use the Elephant Tea Pot, pour hot water into the pot to heat it up as you get your tea ready! Once the pot is nice and hot, replace the water with fresh boiling water and pour in your chosen amount of loose leaf tea leaves! [Tip: Often, the larger the leaves, the higher the quality.] Let steep for three to five minutes then use a strainer to catch the tea leaves as you pour it out of the spout! Finally, enjoy with a touch of cream and, perhaps, a dollop of dandelion honey!
