Though summer is coming and you may say that it’s a season of cold and icy drinks, I can say that hot tea and just tea is always actual. If you are used to making tea in pots and not of sachets, you may need a tea cozy to make the tea brew better and make it brew faster. You can sew, crochet or even knit a tea cozy, it’s totally up to you and the skills you have. I’ve prepared a small roundup of tea cozies that are sure to make your brew perfect, let’s take a look!

Here’s a vintage tea cozy made of various kinds of fabric and trim. The piece is rather neutral and cute as the author found matching and cool fabrics with different patterns and no patterns, too. You may also change the colors and go for something extra bold. Get inspired and get ready to sew!

This super colorful and fun tea cozy is very comfy in using because it features an additional pocket. You may fill it with what you like but it’s mostly intended for tea sachets. Match two different types of fabric and add trim in between them, place a pocket in the center – you may go for two, one on the each side. Get inspired and enjoy sewing!
