Hi-tech tea time

We take our tea seriously in Yorkshire and so does Sage. More than just a kettle, it’s been road tested by Heston Blumenthal no less and knows just how hot and how long to brew a range of different teas. You can even set a timer to make your morning brew. £139, lakeland.co.uk

Babushka tea infuser

If you don’t want to buy a brand new kettle, how about these little infusers based on an iconic Russian design? Simply put loose tea inside the mesh basket, twist and lock, then float in hot water and brew to your desired strength. £13.99, amazon.co.uk
