Sun's Tea Crystal Glass Teapot Warmer

You're looking at 6+ hours of warmth with a single tealight candle, which is genuinely impressive. Multiple users mention being able to enjoy their tea throughout long afternoon sessions or even entire workdays without it going cold. The thick crystal glass retains heat beautifully, so you're not constantly relighting candles.

This is a fair concern, but Sun's Tea thought ahead. The top surface has subtle grooves that help your teapot stay in place, and many users specifically mention how their pots sit securely. That said, you do want to place it carefully initially—it's glass on glass, after all. Once positioned, though, it's stable enough for everyday use.

The warmer has a universal design that works with most teapots, but it's not magic—some users mention certain shapes don't sit perfectly. Standard gongfu teapots, gaiwans, and most small to medium teapots work great. If you have an unusually shaped or very large teapot, you might want to check the dimensions. The platform itself is generous, but odd bottom shapes can be finicky.

Absolutely gorgeous. The five-hearts base design isn't just functional—it's genuinely beautiful, and when lit, it creates this lovely ambient glow that enhances your whole tea setup. Multiple reviewers call it 'elegant' and say it elevates their tea ceremony. It's the kind of piece you want visible on your tea table, not hidden away.

Occasionally, yes—a couple users mention light soot on the teapot bottom, though they note it wipes off easily. It's not a dealbreaker, and it seems to depend partly on the quality of tealight candles you use. Good news is the warmer itself stays clean, and any residue on your pot is minimal and removable.

One user did mention it can heat intensely enough to reboil water, which might be too much for delicate teas. For most tea drinkers, though, this isn't an issue—it's about maintaining warmth, not cranking up heat. If you're steeping temperature-sensitive whites or greens, just keep an eye on it during your first few sessions to see how it behaves with your specific setup.
