Bodum Clara Borosilicate Kettle
(17 June 2008) - Made from near-indestructible borosilicate glass, Bodum's new Clara kettle makes tea time into a better-tasting and more visual experience. The non-porous glass doesn't give off any odors or flavors, which is a must for the more delicate white and green teas out there. It's suitable for use on gas, ceramic or electric stovetops, as well as for use in microwaves (provided the lid and...

(29 January 2008) - A great solution to the age-old problem of where to put the tea bag or strainer after steeping tea, the Drop Stop Tea Strainer is the a clever all-in-one solution. Though there's a certain charm to vintage "I will hold the tea bag" dishes the Drop Stop is an elegant, clutter reducing approach to the dilemma. The stainless steel strainer hangs on the rim while...

(19 December 2007) - by Karen McGrane A shop combining tea, not-too-sweet baked goods and a love for the serenity of Japanese and French desserts seems like it would be a match for the Cool Hunting palate.

Utilitea Kettle
(21 August 2007) - For true tea connoisseurs, heating water to the proper temperature is key—too hot and the taste and health benefits of greens, whites and herbals are destroyed. Adagio, the company that introduced the automatic tea maker, has a solution with the new cordless Utilitea kettle featuring a variable temperature control. Much like other electric kettles, the Utilitea has a stainless steel canister and heats up...

Six Summer Drinks
(10 July 2007) - On a hot NYC day at this year's Fancy Food show Evan and I sampled several new drinks that were delicious, refreshing and met our "not-too-sweet" standards. Maybe it was the effect of the heat or proof of a thriving industry, but among the cheap Vitamin Water knock-offs and pretentious imported bottled waters we found some superior ways to stay hydrated and healthy. Purity.Organic...

The Contemporary Tea House
(04 June 2007) - The tea house is one of Japan’s most original and significant architectural forms—a small, simple space for the tea ceremony that traditionally requires a hearth, straw-mat flooring and a low entrance. Modern Japanese architects have found the challenge of redefining this highly formalized and constrained idiom almost impossible to resist. The Contemporary Tea House features twenty works that reveal the way world-renowned Japanese architects...

Tea Time
(12 April 2007) - I recently visited Zhejiang Province in China, home to the Dragon Well Tea, which has long been ranked first for Chinese teas in successive appraisals for its mild fragrance, clear brew and nutty, smooth taste. The highest grade harvests of its yellowish-green spears are hard to attain, even in China. Inspired by this superlative tea-drinking experience, we found some first-rate tea products to help...

Stain Teacups
(04 December 2006) - For perfectionist tea lovers on your list, these beautifully designed teacups (on CH here last month) are now in production. The work of British designer Laura Bethan Wood the bone china cups are £35, come with a saucer and are all hand finished. This product challenges the assumption that use—i.e. scratches, discoloration, wear and tear—is damaging or bad. Designed to improve through use, the...

Bethan Laura Wood
(30 October 2006) - Like a true Brit, Bethan Laura Wood enjoys a good cup of tea. Like a true product designer, she's obviously spent a lot of time thinking about vessels for drinking tea and rituals surrounding the tradition. The results are a beautiful series of tea cups that caught my eye at last month's 100% East exhibition in London. Delicate white porcelain cups create predetermined patterns...

True Lemon/True Lime
(22 March 2006) - We were hesitant to try these little packets. We stared at the boxes for a few days. We finally tried them out in water and in some tea, and we were surprised—shocked really—at how impressive they were. Made from lemon or lime juice and lemon/lime oil (and not much else) these lemon/lime "substitutes" do a pretty good job of flavoring up your favorite drinks....

Anteadote Teas
(17 March 2006) - The ready to drink segment of the tea market continues to grow in the U.S., where a slow but consistent push by manufacturers is helping consumers understand the health benefits of tea that's actually made from fresh tea leaves, and that remains free of sweeteners and chemicals. It's funny/sad to read comments in the chat rooms like "I had to add a cup of...

Pom Teas
(21 February 2006) - I met my friendly local Pom delivery man at the market this morning and he introduced me to these new Pom Teas. Currently available in Pomegranate Black Tea and Pomegranate Lychee Green Tea (the better of the two), they come in glass containers that you can reuse as glassware (if you don't mind the Pom Tea logo on them). Not a bargain at $3,...

Green Tea
(13 January 2006) - With more and more reports linking green tea to weight loss, extolling its skin care, anti-infection, immune-boosting, and cholesterol-lowering benefits, and citing its potention to prevent cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and tooth decay, the green tea product boom is in full-force. An Asian staple, recent green tea inventions of the East include a Kit-Kat (pictured above right) and the Japanese crisp rice-and-white chocolate bar...

TriniTEA Electric Tea Maker
(18 October 2005) - We've been making our afternoon cuppa with the TriniTea for the last week and it has earned a place on our kitchen counter. It's a two carafed system that separates steeping and serving. We like the timer that allows you to set how long you want your tea to steep; when it's done steeping it whooshes into the second, warmed carafe where it stays...

Steep Design
(21 July 2005) - "This is what happens when designers and connoisseurs meet for tea," says Gamila Design, creators of The Tea Stick. Touted as one of the most operative ways to brew a perfect cup, this stainless steel device beats out both paper tea bags and "pour-over" steeping systems in both ease of use and sleek sexiness. It's a simple mechanism with no breakable parts; scoop the...

kMoby, Teany and an Intimate Live Show
(31 March 2005) - “Hotel,” is No. 1 in Europe, the No. 2 most downloaded album on iTunes (it was No. 1 before Beck bumped it down a notch), he’s currently on a press tour (more on that in a minute), and he just released Teany Book: Stories, Food, Romance, Cartoons and, of course, Tea.” The tome is a hilarious collection of self-help advice (how to cure a...

Sorapot
(30 March 2005) - Tea is a very ritualistic pleasure. I still refuse to buy those efficient electric kettles because the process of setting the kettle to boil and the impending urgent whistle are aspects of tea consumption that set my day in motion. Joey Roth's Sorapot embraces the ritualistic aspects of tea drinking with its clear container for viewing the tea leaves as they seep into the...

Schott's Food & Drink Miscellany
(14 March 2005) - Many of you are already familiar with Ben Schott's masterpiece of useful (cheers from around the world), interesting (tea grading nomenclature, explaining the Scoville scale) and trivial (banqueting legislation in the U.K. in 1517) facts, figures and details. It's a must for the kitchen bookshelf. $15 at Amazon ...

128 Tea Mugs
(24 January 2005) - Onkar Singh Kular has designed something to help the host with a mean perfectionist streak. Each of the 128 tea mugs is a Pantone shade of brown, which allows people to pick out the mug that matches the way they take their tea. Depending on which one they pick, the host with the most can judge how much milk to put in. Domestic goddess made...
