I like this pot. I was a present from one of my former work colleagues late on in 2007 after my main pot sustained some damage - more of that another time!

This pot is a little bit smaller, and has a shiny finish. It holds just about two mugs of tea, which would probably be about three cups.

It doesn't get used very often, as it is reserved for a special purpose.

If you are unlucky enough to have to work, like me, then you will probably know that every now and again, you have one of those days where things are so bad that you have to resort to drastic measures. It's usually a Friday afternoon where everything has gone wrong and you are at your wits' end.

For these occasions, I keep a secret supply of jasmine tea in my desk drawers, which I brew in this post, and on these really dreadful days, it's the only thing that can calm me down!
