Get a Thermos. Seriously. Makes your life a lot easier.

If you want to go for fancy stuff, get one of those teapot-warmer things
where you put candles in... (e.g. something like this

They look great, at least if your'e not getting an ugly one, and keep
the tea warm for a while.

Still, a good Thermos is simply a lot less hassle.
