FAQs

Is the infuser basket suitable for all types of loose leaf tea?

The removable infuser basket is designed for most common loose leaf teas. For extremely fine teas (like rooibos or some green teas), a few small particles might escape. You can mitigate this by not overfilling the infuser or by using a tea filter bag.

Can I heat water directly in this teapot on the stove?

This teapot is designed for brewing and serving. While made of stainless steel, it is not intended for direct heating of water on a stovetop. Please heat your water separately and then pour it into the teapot for brewing.

How many cups does the 750ml teapot typically serve?

A 750ml teapot generally serves approximately 3-4 standard tea cups, depending on the size of the cup and the amount of liquid poured.

What is the benefit of the stackable design?

The stackable design allows you to store multiple Babel teapots one on top of the other, significantly saving space in your kitchen cabinets or on countertops.

Is the handle safe to touch when the teapot is hot?

Yes, the handles are designed to be cool-touch and heat-resistant, ensuring comfortable and safe pouring even when the teapot contains hot liquid.

How should I clean the teapot if I don't have a dishwasher?

Handwash with warm water and mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft towel to prevent water spots and maintain the finish.

What does '18/10 stainless steel' mean?

18/10 refers to the composition of the stainless steel: 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This alloy is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and attractive appearance, making it ideal for high-quality cookware and serveware.

Troubleshooting

Teapot is not retaining heat effectively.

Ensure the lid is properly sealed. For best results, pre-warm the teapot with hot water before brewing.

Tea leaves are escaping the infuser.

Ensure the infuser is properly assembled and that tea leaves are not packed too tightly. For very fine loose leaf teas, consider using a finer mesh strainer or a paper filter within the infuser.

Spout is dripping.

Ensure the spout is clean and free of any tea residue. A slight adjustment in pouring angle may also resolve minor drips. Wipe the spout clean after each pour.

Exterior finish appears dull.

This may occur with dishwasher use. Handwash with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. A stainless steel cleaner can also be used periodically to restore shine.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat retention due to insulated walls.
  • Versatile brewing with a removable infuser for loose leaf or tea bags.
  • Elegant and durable 18/10 stainless steel build.
  • Space-saving stackable design.
  • Mess-free pouring with a drip-free spout.

Cons

  • Handwashing recommended to maintain finish, despite being dishwasher safe.
  • Weight of 0.5 kg may be considerable for some users.
  • Single unit capacity, though stackable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Babel Teapot is ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure the removable infuser basket is correctly seated within the teapot before adding tea leaves and hot water.

Compatibility: This teapot is suitable for brewing all types of loose leaf tea and standard tea bags. It is designed for stovetop use only for heating water (do not heat the empty teapot on a stove) or for serving pre-heated beverages. It is not designed for direct heating on induction hobs or open flames.

Care: While the Babel Teapot is dishwasher safe, handwashing with hot, soapy water is recommended to preserve the longevity and shine of the 18/10 stainless steel. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the surface. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be used. Ensure the teapot is completely dry before storing, especially if stacking.
