Like alchemists, they understood the importance of water quality, temperature and brewing time - an art that is slowly fading.It is this art that Newby seeks to revive, presenting the finest teas and honouring millennia of tradition with a one-of-a-kind museum collection.Curated as carefully as our teas, Newby's Chitra Collection chronicles the very history of tea in priceless objects. We have chosen to feature one of these objects with each of our teas and tisanes.Dresden Silver-Gift Mounted Rubinglas TeapotJohann Böttger, Germany, c. 1713Designed in honour and bearing the royal arms of Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, this teapot's glass was produced by Johann Böttger, an alchemist and craftsman at the Meissen Factory.Suitable for vegetariansWe are a member of Ethical Tea Partnership
