Temperature-Controlling Teapots

The WMF SmarTea Teapot Keeps Your Favorite Brew Warm for Hours

— December 19, 2012 — Art & Design
Keeping your tea warm and ready for drinking is a constant battle, but the WMF SmarTea teapot will make your tea piping hot for hours.

The simplistically designed teapot features a streamlined glass pot with a stainless steel base; within the pot, a removable steeper is positioned for maximum brewing capacity. The niftiest feature by far is held below in the SmarTea's base, which is designed to hold a tea light candle that will keep your brew steaming hot for as long as you need. The futuristic pot holds 1.5 quarts of liquid for several full cups of your favorite blend.

The SmarTea teapot is perfect for when you're entertaining guests as there's no need to keep making fresh pots; simply brew one pot, leave it in the base and it'll do the rest on its own.
