General All Purpose - Pot & Cups for entertaining Client

[Deleted User #28694]

Lately while having guests in my office I've been serving various teas from Greens to Oolongs etc.

I usually just brew up the tea and we drink out of normal mugs/glassware....

I would like to get something that is generally all purpose for Oolongs/Greens and different varieties and something that looks decent to present out to clients... kinda sophisticated and modern but classic at the same time.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I have this one from our good host. It comes in 2 sizes depending on your needs. It is classicly styled yet elegent! "...sophisticated and modern but classic at the same time."


Glass teapot!

That is kind of what I was thinking...

Personally I would go with something a bit more modern/stylish than a plain glass pot. But i also have a penchant for glass and stainless steel.

I would probably look at something along the lines of:


Pura

Ypsilon

As far as a pot goes, I would probably go with a sorapot.

But then again I don't really know what your budget for something of this nature is.

I use the Mono Filio Teapot at work, and it works great from tea to tea, looks fantastic, and brews enough for a small group. It's available in 20 oz and 50 oz, depending on what you need.

Holy cow.
Now that stuff is drop dead gorgeous!

Does anyone make a pot like that a little more budget friendly!

While not quite as cool, the Naoko is pretty nice. I think it may be discontinued from Bodum though so get one quick if you like it.

That's nice too...

But you had to show me the sorapot!

Damn!

That thing is slick.

So do those meet your criteria?

Or shall I dig up more for you?

Well..
I'm spending a ton of time reading in general about different tea pots, but for me.. It's about trying varieties of different teas, having a nice classic look, and enjoying the tea and company..

So yeah, feel free to share more! These are fantastic.

You're right on what I am going for. At first I thought "yeah, basic glass if fine" but what you've shown me are real eye openers.

If I had the funds I'd invest in the sorapot and be done with it.

Could start saving....

If you want a classic appearance you could go with something along the lines of bone china / porcelean white.



or something that while general has a more japanese style behind it




another rather classically styled teapot
