[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 557014, member: 1365"] Up and going this a.m. to the tune of Welsh Brew. Made a whole pot after dragging out my beloved 4 cup with the insulated cover. This is likely my favorite pot in the world as the whole metal cover piece slides up and off. It works super well...a perfect fitting cozy that keeps everything piping hot for a good long while. So while the tea water heats (starting with cold of course...maintains high oxygen level in the water which enhances tea flavors) I have the pot preheating with the hottest possible tap water. When the tea water is boiling rapidly the preheating water is dumped, two bags tossed in and immediately covered with the still actively boiling water...and the pot lid and thermal cover are replaced for the brew time (3 - 5 minutes). Finally, the bags are fished out and the whole shebang is reassembled. Ultimately the thing makes a LOT of tea for one person. OK when using weaker, green, white or herbal teas but with the potent Irish, Scotch & Welsh stuff it’s too much. But it does brew a lovely proper cup of tea. The Welsh Brew tea is very nice...a blend of African and Indian teas. This is supposedly one of the two major teas sold in Wales. The other, I think, is Glengetti Anyway, pics of a pot very similar to mine...and the tea.
