tea-cosy

Padded teapot cover

A tea-cosy is a padded or quilted cover placed over a teapot to keep the tea warm.

The covering fits snugly like a cap, often with decorative fabric or knitted material: She slipped the tea-cosy over the pot while we waited for it to steep.

Primarily British; Americans more commonly say tea cozy.
