What is different about a chai teapot from an English teapot?

hi patricia, I do not know what the difference would be, but I can say this is a great tea pot.

I was told that it holds water at a higher heat for longer which is better for brewing stronger teas like chai spice teas. Green and white teas would get to strong if left to sit in the pot because of the extra duration of the heat. If you time the brewing duration and remove the infuser (or teabags) then this will be a non-issue.

Chai is another word for tea, frankly. I have friends from former Yugoslavia and others from Somalia who use the word 'chai' (spelled differently, of course) for any kind of tea/infusion - black, red, or herbal - with or without additional flavorings. In the U.S., however, 'chai' has come to mean a spice-flavored tea. Wikipedia describes the origin of the term: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masala_chai

I bought this as a present, so I really don't know. It is a very beautiful and wellconstructed teakettle. The person I gave it to loved it. Anything Cuisinart is reallynice.

No I bought one at the same time that I bought this pot. I love this teapot, by the way, I was raised by an English Father and we had tea several times a day. This reminds me of all the teapot in England. It also doesn't dribble when you pour I hate that.

I can't really say. My wife gave it away since she wanted a tea KETTLE not a tea POT which I ordered in error.

This Brown Betty does not have the Large A with two small D's inside the letter A. It is also lacking the Made in England in the lid as Adderley teapots do. I use my small Brown Betty pictured above daily and think it performs equally well as my larger Adderley does. Both make great tea.

Bottom of my teapot says Made in Britain by Portmeirion and www.portmeirion.com

There is no country of origin marked on the pot or the box. The has a removable internal strainer and holds about 16 to 20 ounces of water and each of the two cups holds about 3 to 4 ounces of tea. So it is a small tea set for an intimate party? I have not used it, as it did not fill my needs. But it is a cute and decorative set. Hope this helps.

The ladies that work at the actual Harney and sons store/tea house told us that there is no difference. They are the exact same tea.

There were two different ones made. Hard to tell from pic which one it is. The original tea kettle had three small holes in the spout and sounded like a train whistle. The newer kettles have slits in the spout and just make high pitched whistle.

Yorkshire Gold is my favorite English Tea. It is a little stronger than PG Tips or Ty-phoo. I use tea bags. The tea in the tea bags is larger than a powder, but not whole leaves. I would say it's more of the size of pepper that have gone through a pepper mill. I use Yorkshire gold for my morning tea, and Ty-hoo or PG tips for afternoon tea.

I don't know, this company also has some similar pots specifically for tea if that's what you need.

hi sorry it's taken so long too reply and that I can't be any help. The tea set was a gift for a friend, I have asked them your question, but there is nothing on the teaset and they have thrown the packaging away. My first thought was that they were made in the uk, because that would be where they were made originally. I had a brief look online and found http://www.amazon.com/please-tell-country-was-made/forum/Fx3NT2GEZRVFG6W/Tx2L38BR9ECMVPS/1/ref=cm_cd_dp_aar_al_a?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B0014TIZK8 an amazon page. It seems they use to be made in the uk, then Indonesia and now it looks like it may be China. Hope this is of some help hi sorry it's taken so long too reply and that I can't be any help.

As with so much, you tea pot is made in China. The glaze would I am sure meet American and European standards. It is a well crafted product. Cheers.

I don't know for sure. I can tell you that there is nothing on the teapot itself that says, "Made in China."

The teapot we received came with a diffuser and trivet. I am not so sure it was made made Japan though. I think "Japanese" refers to the style.

Made in China, according to the bottom of the teapot :) This is not fine china, its porcelain. It is by no means high quality by tea set standards, but it is lovely and I have thoroughly enjoyed using it and have received several compliments on it.
