Teapot Warmer Buyer’s Guide
A teapot warmer is a charming addition to any table, holding your teapot securely and keeping your tea warmer for longer. While most teapots offer great insulation anyway, a teapot warmer can extend its warmth for a few hours – perfect for afternoon teas with friends!
A teapot warmer makes a delightful gift, but finding the best one for either you or your loved one can be tricky. Not sure what to look for? Check out this buyer’s guide.
Material
Teapot warmers are commonly made from porcelain, stainless steel or glass. Porcelain teapot warmers suit traditional decor and have good heating abilities. Stainless steel teapot warmers are the best option when it comes to warmth retention, as these are great conductors of heat.
Glass teapot warmers are durable and work well, although many come with stainless steel grills for added conductivity. These have a stylish design and look stunning paired with glass teapots filled with herbal tea.
Design
Most teapot warmers have a similar design, often with a small centre section for tealights. The teapot then sits on top and is gently warmed by the tealight. Most come with ventilation holes which not only allow the tealight to breathe, they also show a beautiful light and shadow effect for a warm and cosy atmosphere.
Ensure your teapot warmer is the right size for your teapot. It should have a stable and flat base, plus a strong stand for safety.
Heating Ability
Most teapot warmers will keep your teapot warm for a maximum of 3 hours. Those with less heat conductivity (such as porcelain warmers) may not work so well, while stainless steel teapot warmers tend to keep your tea warmer for longer.
