That's like... the craziest tea-related apparatus that I've ever seen. Thank you.

Since its just a setup meant for keeping the teapot warm, you could go with almost any teapot warmer set for the same functionality. Adagio even makes one;

Warmer: http://www.adagio.com/teaware/teapot_wa ... c6d138d3e7

But if its the same aesthetic you're after, I'm afraid I cannot help you.

The tea candle warmers just kinda keep it warmer as it cools. heh.

If you are looking for an actual tea stove you'll have to go to alcohol burners. You can get some at a half decent price here. (including the one in the picture... )




[edit] You linked to the same store then asked where you can get one? Confusing...[/edit]

but shipping is gonna be expensive...

btw, best fuel for alcohol stoves is Everclear 190, it's not poisonous. If you can't get it in your state you can find denatured alcohol at marine supply stores for reasonable.

Actually, since I am an alcohol burner user (every day) I can tell you it does NOT heat the water nearly fast enough for any purpose.

You can wait an hour before the water boils.

I agree, I put boiling water in mine from my regular kettle or zoji. Don't expect them to boil the water, just to keep it near boiling once it is there.

What I was saying about the tea candle warmers was that they don't even keep it warm, just slow the cooling.

Tenuki, I uploaded a link b/c I wasn't looking for that particular one, just one like it.

I.E. any alcohol burning "tea stove" with an unglazed kettle.

Something like this, but burning alcohol instead of coal.

When I make green tea, the tea is never in the teapot long enough to require a secondary heat source

Having said that, I'll admit that I've always hankered for a tea cosy that I could fit onto a kyusu! Just for the sheer novelty of it, you understand.

Same here for tea, but the picture above is for keeping the kettle warm, not the teapot.

Us Gong Fu Folks brew one 'lil cup at a time, sometimes 20 cups from the same leaves. we need a hot water source to supply us constantly.
