Hoqiang Cotton Tea Cozy Vintage Floral

Based on real-world use, this cozy keeps tea hot for over an hour—some reviewers report their tea staying warm for an hour and a half or longer. It's well-insulated and genuinely functional, not just decorative. The quilted cotton construction traps heat effectively, so you can brew a pot and enjoy multiple cups without rushing.

It fits standard and regular-sized teapots very well—that's what most reviewers confirm. However, if you have a particularly tall teapot, be aware that one reviewer mentioned it could be about 2 inches taller for their pot. The cozy has a removable cork base, which helps with fit flexibility. If your teapot is average-sized (think classic 4-6 cup ceramic teapot), you should be fine.

It's absolutely both. While the vintage floral design is genuinely pretty—reviewers love how it makes even plain teapots look fancy—it's also seriously functional. The insulation works, it's well-made and sturdy, and it's practical enough that people use it daily. You're getting a decorative accessory that actually does its job, not just something to display.

It's hand washable and reviewers say it's easy to clean. Even better, it dries quickly after washing, so you won't be waiting days to use it again. The construction holds up well to cleaning—multiple people mention it's well-made and maintains its shape and appearance after washing.

Honestly, it works beautifully for both. Beginners will appreciate how simple it is—just place it over your teapot, no fuss. It fits standard sizes and requires minimal care. For enthusiasts, it enhances the traditional tea ceremony aesthetic, protects valuable or vintage teapots, and adds that authentic British tea service touch. The quality construction means it'll last for years of daily use.

The cork base is a thoughtful detail—it provides extra insulation on the bottom while being removable for cleaning or if you want a different fit. It's one of those small design features that shows this isn't just a decorative cloth thrown over a teapot, but a properly thought-out insulating cover.
