Genuine Brown Betty Teapots are still made in Stoke-on-Trent, formed from clay which comes from the same area where elder Brothers found clay in the year 1695. The method of producing was "Jolleying" but over the years it is now modified to slip casting which gives the pot an even thickness and smooth finish both inside and out. 

      Succeeding generations of English men have proved that the Brown Betty, as these Red Ware teapots are affectionately known, make the best pot of tea in the world. The shape of the pot causes the tea leaves to be gently swirled around as the boiling water is added, thus producing an exquisite infusion. The Red Terracotta Clay with its Rockingham glaze, coddles the brew and gives the perfect cup of tea.

     Flowering Teas (also known as blooming teas, performance teas, and display teas) are hand-sewn individual tea leaves forming a ball, and designed to perform an action when steeped in hot water, usually unfurling into decorative flower-like arrangements. Flowering Tea was created within the past 20 years in China.  Flowering Teas are usually prepared in glass or otherwise transparent cups or mugs so that the performance can be seen.

    All our Tea Cozies are reversible with a complimenting color ribbon. They are 100% cotton and should always be washed in Cold water and hung to dry.
