It comes in fun colors like mandarin, lime, turquoise, purple and blue. Here too is a range of traditional Japanese iron teapots, including a gift set that includes a cast-iron teapot with a dragonfly motif, a trivet, two cups, and two tea tins covered in handmade washi paper and filled with Jasmine Pearls and Gyokuro green teas.<\/div>\n<div class=\"subscriber-only\">\n<p class=\"\"><a class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cb2.com\/\" target=\"\u2014blank\">CB2&#8217;s<\/a>&nbsp;teaware collection includes a reactive, iridescent, glazed teapot and a stainless-steel canister finished in either copper or gold for storing your teas.

Twining says it&#8217;s best to let it sit and steep rather than dunk it or squeeze it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subscriber-only\">\n<p class=\"\">\u2014 Be patient. &#8220;I recommend letting it steep for a full four minutes.&#8221; However, green tea is ready in two, oolong in three, and chai in five. Impatient sorts should go with white tea, for which a quick one minute of brewing will suffice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subscriber-only\">\n<p class=\"\">Twinings has some interesting herbal teas, including Buttermint, which blends peppermint and vanilla flavors.
