Do you drink tea, and use a pot to brew it? I think I fancy a tea pot and nice cup...

If you do, where's your pot from? Is it fancy? Can I see? What tea do you drink? Just bog standard stuff?

I have visions of myself sitting out at my new garden table with a pot of fresh tea, sipping it from a fancy cup 🤣

Loose leaf tea for decades now. I but english breakfast, afternoon tea and Earl Grey in proportions 2:2:1 - tried different combinations, and this was the one we liked. We also buy liquorice root and dried peppermint from Amazon and mix together for herbal tea.

Until recently, we had a stainless steel tea pot from Sainsburys that I bought in the 90s. It had a stainless steel infuser insert. Handle broke off recently, and we've replaced with this teapot which is just big enough for two small mugs. Just. If I was buying again, I'd buy same brand (pours beautifully), but would prefer a little larrger.

Ours is a big stainless steel thing that holds a kettleful of water. We cover it with a tea cosy with chickens on. We either use teapigs loose tea or supermarket fancy version of everyday brew. Great for topping up your half empty cup with hot tea and warming it up.

London Pottery teapot. Bright yellow globe style pot for 6 cups. We fill it at least twice a day which keeps DH and I going whilst we wfh. We've got a cupboard full of loose leaf. I like the flavoured stuff like lapsang, earl grey but also partial to a single leaf like Assam. My favourite is a first flush golden tippy but its not cheap for an everyday brew.

I have a Wedgwood teapot.

I have the For Life teapot. I love it, when I remember to use it. The design seems to be identical to the Pro Cook one as well.
Would love to have something prettier though.

Mine from Morrisons last month, I love it.
