Hello, I have a question about the steeping process that maybe you fine folks could help me with.
I suppose it is the case for most, but when I drink tea at home, I prefer to enjoy my tea in a calm place; usually either at the dinner table or in my living room. For large brewings this isn't a problem. But I am mostly a chinese tea drinker, and I usually drink them either gongfu style or with the help of a zhong, so I'm doing many small infusions. I find it quite bothersome to drink my small tea cup, walk back to the kitchen reheat the water a few seconds in the electric kettle to raise it back to the right temperature and re-steep my tea.
Is there any more elegant solution to bring water with me at a reasonably hot temperature so that I can at least make a few infusions without having to re-heat my water? I'm thinking maybe a thermos, but I'm not sure it would be able to keep it hot enough (10 degrees are not too important for a coffee or a soup, but quite so for a tea).
