I use a red liquid thermometer which I got from TeaGschwendner (www.teamerchants.com). It was inexpensive and very well designed for determining the temperature of tea, even in a very small, shallow teapot. Other kitchen thermometers, including espresso thermometers, may require that the whole probe be submerged in order to get an accurate reading. But if one is using a shallow steeping vessel, one needs a thermometer that only needs its tip to be submerged for an accurate reading. 2. As far as a beginner's teapot is concerned, I would suggest a heavy, glazed porcelain teapot with a large infuser basket. I explain why in this post/podcast: http://www.lainiesips.com/?p=1558 Hope this helps! Hi Mesheal!

I have so much to learn about tea. In your post, you made mention of both water temperature and type of teapot. What do you use to determine the temperature of the water? Just a normal kitchen thermometer, or specially designed equipment for tea? And do you have recommendations for a "beginner's" teapot (besides the one that came with my wedding china)?
