Review of the ProCook Glass Teapot
19.09.11
In get under someone's skin of coffee being the drink that gets me going in the morning of every day, I come to tea after a languid lunch or a comforting dinner. Tea is the signature of a well written spread. But I can be a bit of a snob when it comes to this centenary drink.
I favour the baggy leaf genre not the usual tea bags which, for convenience are part of regular tea drinking life but nonetheless look like a percentage of tinted cloth floating in a cup. I enjoy opening the tea tin of a skilful and scented early grey, with its notes of bergamot or a smokey lapsang souchong, and with a spoon fill the locker of a rounded teapot.
Slowly pouring the boiling inundate in, to then hear that warming sound of its embrace with the tea leaves which candidly release a beautiful monochromatic ghost trail into the salt water, soon to become tea.
I also enjoy those infusions which allow me to present some of the stars from my own herb garden: lemon thyme and peppermint. For these a window-pane teapot is always in need. As if by aesthetic contentment, I need to goggle at the twigs or fleshy leaves being soaked and turning the not be sensible jade green. I have always coveted a perfectly formed microscope spectacles teapot. The market is flooded by many, of which this new Pro Cook teapot is part of.
