Pedant's Teapot
[marked for deletion] - not really an idea, and most likely 'baker baiting. | |
The teapot that I own has the annoying habit of whenever I pour the dregs out, some tea solid remains, even when I refill the pot with water and pour it out again some dregs remain.
This has appealed to that meticulous pedant in me, and thus I have come to the conclusion that my teapot, and several
others that I have seen in various shops are defective by design. The neck of my teapot begins roughly in the centre of the side of the teapot, and this design seems to be common with a lot of the teapots that I have seen.
The obvious solution to this is to begin the neck at the bottom side of the teapot, thus there being no obstruction to the tea leaves remaining.

Not sure whether this is the solution, but I sympathise about the problem [+] |
|
| |
May I also suggest that the bottom of the pot can be unscrewed, thereby allowing better scouring access to any solid tea residue? |

does your teapot not have a whopping great hole on the top with a lid? |

Title should be "Pedant's Teapot" - (pesky
pedant swallows bait) - I'm off now to have
tea via a
non-clogging teabag. I like the idea of a
teapot that is all neck and no belly, i.e. the
oppostite of most football supporters, so

//meticulous pedant // A tautology, shirley? |
|
| |
A tautology? I was about to say the same thing! ([marked for deletion] should be [marked–for-deletion], by the way.) |
|
| |
If you are using loose teas, have you not tried putting them into a 'tea ball'? [link] This way there is no leaf at all, because I have found that sometimes just the shape of the pot itself will cause debris to be left inside. |

What [po] said. Swill it out! If there is a small amount of lees in there after that it can't matter too much!.
BTW, God has invented TeaBags to mitigate the situation...... |
|
| |
And man has invented teabagging. |

Is it not that the accumulated, left over dregs add to the flavor? These hints of teas of kettles past remind us of our history in tea, keeping us honest to our roots should we fly off with mint after years of drinking chamomile. |
