Tea: the essential accessories for its preparation
Tea tasting is a special moment that must be prepared with care. Just as preparing coffee requires a machine and a filter, tea requires its infuser and other utensils. For this, many accessories are at your disposal so that you can spend a moment rich in aromas and flavors. Fauchon explains everything about the essential accessories for preparing your tea.
The importance of accessories in tea tasting
Tea time is a unique tasting moment that you deserve to savor with intensity and pleasure . So, to fully enjoy your tea and infusion moments, do not hesitate to accompany them with accessories that will make your tasting even more exquisite, while making your preparations in the tradition.
Choosing the right accessories to prepare your tea or infusion also means preserving its flavor as much as possible and thus guaranteeing charm and generosity in taste. Whether alone or with loved ones, make your tasting a memorable memory. It is therefore important to carefully select the utensils that will accompany your tea so that it does not lose quality and that you can exploit all its flavors: indeed, having a good teapot, a tea ball and a beautiful cup is not trivial and is an integral part of your experience in the land of taste. In addition, a beautiful teapot and beautiful mugs will also be an integral part of your interior decoration.
The essential accessories for preparing your tea
The tea box
The first accessory to have for your tea is an airtight metal box, to protect it from oxidation. This will allow you to keep all the freshness and flavor of your tea leaves. You will be able to store your favorite teas and pick from this beautiful box according to your desires, while having an overview!
The teapot
If you are a tea lover, the teapot is the central element in preparing your tasting. This is why at Fauchon, we offer you the Salam teapot.
This is an essential accessory for preparing your black teas, green teas, white teas and infusions. Its stainless steel bell gives it a unique design while preserving the heat of your drinks thanks to its felt. Thus, the leaves of your tea will release their aromas at the ideal temperature for the greatest pleasure of your taste buds.
Allow about 5 minutes for an herbal tea to steep, 5 minutes for a black tea, 4 minutes for a green tea, and 7 minutes for a white tea. Remember to wash the teapot after each use to prevent the teapot from getting damaged or the taste of your preparations from being altered.
The cup of tea
How can you enjoy your tea in style without a cup designed for this purpose? At Fauchon, we want every moment of indulgence to rhyme with excellence. It is with this in mind that we offer you porcelain mugs in three different colors, designed with the Fauchon logo:
- The black and white mug
- The magenta and white colored mug
- The gold and white mug
In addition to savoring the rich aromas of your Fauchon tea, you will savor them with aesthetics!
The spoon
The spoon may seem like a detail, but it is essential to measure your tea correctly, so that its taste is both rich and subtle, neither too bland nor too strong, and so that you can get the best out of it.
The tea ball
To infuse your tea, the tea ball is a great classic. This one will be perfect to enjoy a dose of loose tea, like our Fauchon black tea flavored with rose. At Fauchon, we offer you two tea balls of choice to fully appreciate the aromas of your drink.
- The Alessi Fauchon engraved tea ball: designed by Titus Wybenga for the manufacturer Alessi, this stainless steel tea ball is ideal for enjoying your tea in complete elegance.
- The Fauchon tea ball: this floats on the surface of your tea to let it gently infuse and diffuse without you having to hang it on a wall. Once your tea is ready, all you have to do is place the ball on the Fauchon pink support provided for this purpose: a glamorous tasting awaits you!
The tea bag
For a more responsible tasting, you can also use a tea bag. Today, there are some made of untreated natural paper, but also reusable bags made of organic cotton: you just need to put your tea leaves in them, like in a classic bag, and brew.
The timer
To sip a good tea, it is important to master its infusion time : this greatly influences the aromas of your drink, it is therefore essential to respect the indicated infusion times. For this, Fauchon has developed the 3-time tea hourglass , which will help you prepare teas and infusions rich in flavors.
