Lids have always been part of teapots. They help to retain heat and also keep the aroma in the teapot. However, it is sometimes convenient and fun to brew without a lid. It is interesting to watch the tea leaves open during the brewing process. Also, the aroma of the brewed tea spreads out and can be enjoyed by all. As an added bonus, you don’t need to worry about breaking the lid or finding a replacement.
