Steeping tea is one of the joys of a natural lifestyle. With these essentials, you make your steeping a simple pleasure of the day.

Tea essentials

The tea tastes better when the teapot is a beautiful one. I have brought our two teapots in backpacks from Morocco, but similar ones can be found similar ones online too if you are not visiting Morocco anytime soon.

This is the perfect way to steep some Moroccan Mint tea. Just notice that there are teapots sold with and without legs. If you plan to steep on the stove, choose the one without legs; otherwise, it won’t work.

Tea essentials

For an avid tea drinker, an infuser for tea is a must. I have used several different types of infusers during the years, and the best ones always have long enough handels each side so that it doesn’t slip into the tea mug.

A mesh tea strainer with a small lid, like the one that I have linked below, id perfect choice to make the steeping easy. Put the lid on the top to keep the aromas while steeping. After steeping, set the infuser on top of it to catch any drippings. Metallic infuser baskets are the heavy-duty ones; we have been using them in the cafè for years.
