The company it's from is called Grosche. It's this cool steeper for loose leaf teas. I first saw a girl on youtube use it and had to get it lol. Here's the Amazon link for more details

I can tell you what not to buy! cuisinart CPK-17 kettle The buttons are unnecessarily complicated. You have to push the temperature then push the start button. I can’t tell you how many times I think i put on the kettle to boil, and find cold water and a blinking set of lights.

I received this portable travel kettle last Christmas and have been using it for my mini tea station at work. If you scroll down to the description it's 700W.

No complaints, it's worked fine so far after half a year of daily use. No rusting- but I do dry the kettle when I'm done and don't leave water in it. No temp control though, so if you want to make green/White tea you'll need to do it before it comes to a full boil, of wait a bit before stepping your tea. Even then it's not going to be the exact recommended temperature unless you use a thermometer but my tea has been good still just giving the water a little Time to cool a bit. Easily holds enough water for 2-3 mugs at once

Of you don't like this particular one I'm sure portable/travel kettle as keywords will lead you to similarly powered kettles, maybe even some with temp control.

I have a had this kettle, https://www.amazon.com/Bonavita-BV382510V-Variable-Temperature-Gooseneck/dp/B005YR0F40/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=bonavita+kettle&qid=1625087548&sr=8-3, for 7ish years and it’s great! Being able to set the temp is awesome for tea! Especially if you like white and green tea! I use it for everything, like love it for heating water to 110 for yeast.

Breville make a kettle with multiple temperature settings I really like. It's probably around $110USD after conversion. I think the I build infuser might not be a great idea imo. Prone to oversteeping and will build up tannins in the kettle that will be shit to clean. I think you'd be better served buying a kettle with the temperature settings and then brewing in another vessel. Then you can also just use it to heat or boil water without everything you use it for having a slight bitter tannic taste.

This is the one. If you're in the US there may be a different but equivalent version to account for the voltage difference that plagues home appliances.

Teapot is from IKEA. If you like chai spiced tea, I highly recommend this one. It is black tea with ginger, cardamom, tulsi, and a few other herbs.

My family is on a huge St. Valentine's tea kick from Tsar Nikolai II, which is basically a black tea of Earl Grey and rose flavours. Definitely a staple in our household! They also come in tea bags, but I found it looseleaf here (we use both): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003J8K1G8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_QSY3ZEM4J8HETJ8H5KMB

While the water boiled and the tea steeped I brought some milk up to temp on the stove. Poured about 1/3 of a mug full, frothed, then poured the tea over/through the foamed/frothed milk

It is very convenient to use teapots with candles for tea drinking. One candle burns for approximately 4 hours and the tea remains hot throughout the entire time. I have already collected a collection of items for pleasant tea drinking. All glass items are perfectly combined, although they were bought in different places. Wrote a small review of all my collected tea items. I hope this will be useful to someone.

Oh, no it's just lavender flowers. Nothing but dried lavender flowers, food grade. You just steep them alongside your tea to add lavender flavor.

Edit: You could probably grind them up into powder if you wanted. For tea specifically, I wouldn't reccomend it as steeping the lavender for more than a minute or two makes the infusion bitter and with a bit of a medicinal taste, which I don't like for tea. Though if you like flavors like that then grinding them and dissolving them into the tea may be very enjoyable!

I use this Secura frother. I use it several times a day and even take it when I travel I love it so. It also makes great hot chocolate, and cold matcha latte. For milk substitutes (Ripple & coconut milk) I have to stop it early so it does not over heat it.

Mate, as an Englishman in the US, you gotta buy a kettle. Been here 12 years, and only finally bought this kettle:

It's life-changing. I tried hot water from the coffee machine, microwaving water etc.

There is no substitute for your own kettle. And you can find tea bags on Amazon for almost every preference. Get amongst!

Here’s the link to buy it on Amazon!

It’s a beautiful cup in person as well. I love striped china and was super excited to get this as a gift. :D

If you’re interested, the cup is Bombay Duck London, and here’s the Amazon link!

The cake plate is Royal Albert “Green Polka Rose”. Happy drinking!
