In my mind there is nothing more comforting than a cup of tea. My love of tea started as a young child when I would throw tea parties for my dolls and it continues today. I start each morning off at my desk with a nice hot cup of Twinings earl grey tea.  I imagine it would be that much better if it was served in one of these 3 modern but elegant teapots. New from Alessi's Spring/Summer 2014 line, this  sophisticated modern tea teapot can be brought directly from the stove top to the table ready for serving.
