How To Use Stump Teapots

Stump Teapot

Making your favorite brew in a stump teapot could not be easier. The teapot holds enough tea to serve two people.

The best brew is made from filtered water.
Warm the pot for a minute with some hot water that has just gone off the boil.  Discard the water.

Make sure that the metal infuser is in the teapot and then place two spoonfuls of dry tea in the infuser. This can be tea of any type - black tea, green tea, white tea, herbal teas or fruit teas.


Pour boiling water into the teapot and fill.  Leave to stand and brew for 3-5 minutes.  Pour and enjoy!

The infuser goes quite deep into the pot so the flavor of the tea permeates into the water very well.

You can of course use various types of tea which come as teabags but it is my personal preference to empty the contents of the teabag into the infuser. Doing this results in a much purer taste of whatever tea I am making, because if I leave the tea in the bag I can often detect a kind of 'paper taste' in the tea.
