Request recommendation: temp controlled teapot
Hello, as the title implies, I am looking for a temp controlled teapot.
I own an ember mug and have to say, it is one of my favorite purchases/splurges. For those that do not want to click on the link, this is a temperature controlled mug that holds a hot temp for liquids in a mug wirelessly. It does this with quite good precision IMO, have not whipped out a thermometer to check accuracy.
I have been looking for some time for a teapot that could do the same. The requirements I have are that no plastic or otherwise health adverse heat volatile materials come into contact with the heated water, and I would like it to be a teapot, because I like the ritual of pouring the tea out of the pot. I want to be able to steep and pour the tea from the same temp controlled vessel(I don't mind heating water and then pouring it into the temp controlled teapot), so I'm not looking for a temp controlled kettle, necessarily.
I think last time I looked I ended up on pages showing things like this set up, which I'm open to, but would like some guidance or reviews, if possible.
Thank you!
Bonus, what are your favorite mint teas or other teas that have a sensory experience outside of temp?
Honest question, why not a Thermos/Vacuum flask of sorts? I use one that takes 1.5 liters of fluid (Roughly 50 ounces I think?) and it keeps tea warm the entire day.
Ok so you're looking for something more precise than a traditional teapot warmer or even like the teapot version of a typical electric mug warmer? That's tricky I think. Most use a tealight.
I found a few induction teapot warmers with control knobs, but they're not in English. I'm intrigued what folks can find.
I only had a quick look at the ember website, but they have what looks like bigger closeable mugs, would one of those be an option? Very expensive, though.
Alternatively, a really good, larger thermos? You can get ones that are very tea-kettle like.
Really not what you're asking for but the Zojirushi VE water boilers are a solution to a similar problem. I brew single cups - either bags or loose leaf with a single cup strainer. Brewing at the temperature I like but light on ceremony.
I've never used this brand so I can't comment on quality, but is something like this what you're looking for? Has the infuser built in, contains temp control (this one is present notches but you get the idea), and can pour the tea out of this?
I was trying to find others that seem to be more known brands or build quality, but haven't really found many. Most temperature control ones I find don't have the infuser built in and are moreso just regular electric kettles with temp control.
