We're in love with these tea cozies created by Michaelle McLean of flock of tea cosy. A certified tea sommelier in Canada, McLean became obsessed with building a modern, non-chintzy teapot warmer. Handmade from thick wool felt, they function like a fabric Thermos. We thoroughly endorse her efforts to bring the traditional art of tea-drinking into the modern era.

The tea cozies come two sizes: standard, for four-cup teapots; and small, for two-cup teapots. We'd like to have a different-colored one for every day of the week.
