about how long does the tea stay hot?
1444986
This pot is not insulated so I would say the tea remains hot like 30 min. If you need to keep your tea hot more than this, I would recommend that you buy a thermos bottle. They sell some very good around here. This item is very nice and I recommend.

I have never timed it but it stays hot as long as any good quality ceramic tea pot holds heat. If I want tea to stay warm in the tea pot I pull out the tea strainer, put the lid back on and wrap it in a kitchen towel and it stays nice and warm until I am ready to drink my second cup. I am extremely happy with this tea pot. Hope this helps.

It was a gift for my son, and he says it holds heat for the 2 cups of tea he drinks every morning.

You are correct in the sense that it is warm on the outside. Hot if you're ultra-sensitive. It does have a nice rim around the top that you can hold onto. However, I let the tea steep for anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes (I like mine well-steeped). I find by that time, it's easy to hold. Think of a cup in a Japaneese restaurant. It's pretty much the same. I love my first one and ordered a second.

I believe some of this has to do with oxidation of the tea while it sits. Tea really should be drank shortly after it's made. The keep warm feature is helpful, but I try not to let my tea sit for too long. It's much better to brew a smaller pot if you won't drink it all right away. What I've found helpful if I do want a pot to drink throughout the day is to have a stainless vacuum carafe on hand. Instead of letting the tea sit in the pot, I'll move it to the carafe and close it up. It keeps the tea hotter, keeps air from getting to the tea and blocks out light. I think it keeps a full pot fresher for longer. I believe some of this has to do with oxidation of the tea while it sits. Tea really should be drank shortly after it's made.

The beverage stays very hot for 2-3 hours. It will begin to cool down, but is still quite warm after the 3 hours. If you keep the lid in the closed position, it will stay very warm for a couple more hours.

I use this in a standard mug, and the lid does keep the steam (i.e., heat) in pretty well, I would say, although there is a slight bit of open area around the outside perimeter of the strainer. I usually steep my tea for 3 to 5 minutes and find that the tea still stays nice and hot.

3-5 minutes if the water is boiling hot. Probably more like 5-7 minutes if the water is hot but not boiling, like if you had it in the thermos for a few hours.

We use it with a tea cozy. The teapot is quite small so after a cup or two we refill it. Tea stays fairly warm that way.

In order to keep it hot, I boil water and put it in the mug for ten minutes then pour it out and put in my coffee. It will keep my coffee hot for about 4 hours then it starts to go warm and will keep it warm for about another 3 hours.

I don't let my tea sit for too long but the other day I had to get some other stuff done and when I finally got to it I thought it would have been cold if it had been in a regular cup, but to my surprise it was still pretty warm. Sorry I can't be more precise, hope it helps!

Not sure the exact temp but I make hot tea every morning using it and it works great!

Depends upon the volume of water in the kettle. Normally, it takes just a couple of minutes if you are boiling enough for two mugs of tea or coffee.

As long as you keep the dry tea from open air, it should easily last 225 cups assuming you drink one to two cups a day. Store in an airtight containter and keep out of direct sunlight and you should be fine. I have kept some teas for years as they are ones I only use on occassion.

green tea water should not come to a rolling boil- stop heating right before kettle whistle starts. Steep for no more than 3 minutes- 2 is really optimum for me.

Given that you use a couple tablespoons per brewed cup, it's hard to say how long you will keep this. I'd say keep it well sealed, press the extra air from the package, and it may last quite a while. It's damned fine tea.

it depends on the temperature you select and how much water you are boiling. i think full and on the hottest setting it takes about 5 minutes, and with just enough for one cup on the hottest setting no more than 2 minutes. Ball park times i am usually running around when using this kettle :)The kettle beeps when the boil is complete and will keep warm until you are ready in case you miss it. I have found these functions work really well in my morning rush.

I use it to steep the tea so I pour boiling water in to it. I know there is a candle warmer for it to stay hot. I wouldn;t put it on the stove myself.
