Which action was part of the teapot procedure described?

• A. Warming the teapot
• B. Brewing coffee
• C. Storing tea
• D. Cooling the water

Answer: (A)

Understanding the sequence of steps in a teapot-based tea-making procedure is being tested. Warming the teapot fits right into the setup phase: you pre-warm the pot so the brew stays hot longer and the tea’s aroma can develop more fully once the hot water and tea are inside. It also helps prevent the pot from cooling the water too quickly. The other options don’t fit the usual teapot process described: brewing coffee belongs to a different drink and method; storing tea is about handling tea leaves before brewing, not the act of making tea with a teapot; cooling the water would slow extraction and isn’t part of preparing a hot tea.
