The history of tea cosies, also known as tea cozies, dates back to the mid to late 1800's. At this time tea cosies were appearing in many households across Britain.
Tea cosies were traditionally knitted, crocheted, hand embroidered and quilted.
Rumours abound as to the actual events that led up to the invention of a tea cosy for your teapot.
our cosy hats off to tea . . .
One such tale recounts the story of an Irish farmer, who upon his woolen hat falling on top of his freshly brewed pot of tea, discovered that his tea was extraordinarily hot when it came time to pour.
His wife set about knitting his teapot a proper woolen cover to keep his tea hot and thus the humble tea cosy was born.

Use a Tea Cosy on your teapot whilst steeping your tea. Remove the tea leaves once your tea is ready and place the Tea Cosy back on your teapot. It really is nice to have 2 or more cups of tea as hot as the first one.
