Smell

Context

When used to make a pot of tea

Temporality

The act of making the tea – smell of tea leaves brewing in the pot.

Description

The teapot would be the vessel for containing brewing tea, which, depending on the type of tea would give off different aromas, at different intensities. If something like an Earl Grey black tea, it would have the earthiness of the leaves and the floral/perfumey scent of the bergamot. The pot itself doesn’t have a particularly distinct smell, but it starts to smell like the remnants of the tea made in it over time, as washing doesn’t get it completely off.
