I do not believe that you can properly enjoy a drink of tea if you do not use a teapot and proper tea drinking mugs or cups. One great way of making this process or ritual fun is by buying a glass teapot so that you can see the liquid being infused by the tea leaves. This is especially the case if you are interested in trying out lots of different types of tea.
Many people buy glass teapots because they have adopted the process of making tea into the ritual they go through for every cup. The glass teapot is part of that ritual, watching the process of the tea literally being transformed before their eyes.
