Troubleshooting

Tea leaves leaking into the teapot

Ensure the stainless steel infuser is fully seated and the lid is properly aligned to hold the infuser rim in place.

Stubborn tea stains inside the pot

Soak the interior with a mixture of warm water and a small amount of baking soda to gently lift stains without scratching the glaze.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your Le Creuset teapot, always begin by rinsing the infuser with warm water before the first use. When brewing, place your loose-leaf tea into the infuser, pour your hot water over the leaves, and place the lid on the teapot to lock in the steam and flavor.

Care instructions are straightforward: the teapot and infuser are easy to clean, generally requiring only a gentle wash with mild soap and a soft sponge. While the glaze is resistant to staining, avoid using harsh scouring pads or abrasive cleansers. The teapot is safe for use in temperatures from freezing up to 260 degrees Celsius, making it safe for warming in an oven if necessary, though it should never be placed directly on a burner or heating element.
