When it comes to tea accessories, we're spoiled for choice! There are countless accessories available today to make preparing and enjoying tea easier. In this article, we've listed the accessories we consider essential!
The teaspoon
A teaspoon is essential for measuring your tea correctly! It allows you to avoid using too much or too little tea for a perfect infusion with a subtle taste!
Whether it's made of wood, steel, porcelain, or bamboo, there are several models of tea spoons to suit your preferences – the choice is yours!
The cup strainer
A tea strainer is an alternative to a tea ball; it allows the leaves to float without leaving any residue in the water. We recommend choosing a stainless steel tea strainer to prevent it from rusting over time.
Tea buddy infuser or tea ball
No matter the shape of your tea infuser (since there are many different kinds), this handy little accessory will allow you to brew tea without any leaks (unlike a tea strainer). It's all a matter of preference, so choose the one you like best! Again, stainless steel remains the best option to prevent rust.
Filter bags
Tea filters are very practical and, above all, allow the tea to expand and take up the necessary space in the filter, unlike tea balls which tend to compress the leaves. Paper filters are the most convenient; you simply throw them away after use.
The matcha whisk
True matcha lovers can't do without the famous bamboo matcha whisk. This accessory is essential for making the perfect matcha, whether it's a matcha latte, iced matcha, or any other beverage. It will allow you to create a fine, smooth foam. Simply pour hot water over the matcha powder and whisk vigorously until you achieve the desired foam.
Tea boxes
Did you know that tea oxidizes quite quickly? To prevent this from happening, don't hesitate to store your tea in pretty, airtight metal tins that will allow you to keep all the freshness and flavor of your favorite teas.
The teapot
The teapot is, of course, the essential accessory for all your tea breaks! Porcelain, ceramic, floral, polka dot... there are all kinds! This accessory will allow you to prepare your tea in the best possible conditions.
