Answer 2

It's small - two cups - it's terracotta, it's Chinese and decorated with Chinese sgraffiti. I don't have a tea cosy.
A tea cosy was used to keep the tea pot warm before most people had central heating. Making tea cosies was a task imposed on young girls learning to knit or crochet and little old ladies to help pass the time.
I also have a massive (12 glass) Turkish teapot. You make very strong tea in the top part, the lower part has hot water in it. A little strong tea is poured into the glass and each person can choose how much hot water is added from the lower pot. Everyone can choose the strength of their tea - but my grandmother (always take the pot to the kettle, always use boiling water) would turn in her grave, if she saw me using it.

I own a beautiful silver teapot which has been handed down in the Fogg family for generations. I do believe it is sixteenth century. I prefer my tea served in this teapot and as always my faithful man-servant Devachandra Chandipati makes the tea exquisitely. He comes from India, not far from Darjeeling and he is able to procure for me a tea named Silver Tips, probably the most expensive tea in the world. He keeps it warm on a heated salver, not boiling mind you that would spoil the tea, but just warm. And of course nothing else but good china cups are used and definitely NO milk; it spoils the true flavour of good tea. Just a little squeeze of lemon and a minute amount of sugar and the teaspoon always pointing towards five o'clock.

Answer 4

I drink a lot of Indian tea, English style. No tea cozy, but somewhere I have a tea pot, kind of orange, with animals on it. Its prettier than it sounds. I just moved so its still packed away. Funny, last night I dream that someone gave me my orange tea pot as a gift. Tea cozys can be made ( often by a handy old lady, which I'm not) or purchased on the Internet. Just look up "tea cozy." They really don't work all that well for keeping tea warm. So drink your tea fast, and leave the kettle on low.

Answer 6

It's medium blue with a chip on the nozzle. The tea cosy is also blue with a pink flower pattern on the outside and a murky brown tea stained shade on the inside (from the spilled tea).

Answer 7

Well its round and see through, it has a bit in the middle for all my lovely tasting teas and then i add the water and put the lid on. I dont have a tea cosy :-(

Answer 8

A small stainless steel one. I dont have a tea cosy and i dont use the pot.
If I had a proper china pot, and I made tea in it then I would use a cosy cos it's what you do, it keeps it warm. I made a tea cosy once for my mum.

Answer 9
