FAQs
Does this teapot come with an infuser or basket?
No, this teapot is intentionally designed without a basket or infuser to allow loose tea leaves maximum space to expand and steep for optimal flavor.
What is the capacity of this teapot?
This teapot is designed for single servings, typically around 400ml, making it perfect for one person.
Is the glass safe for boiling water?
The teapot is made of borosilicate glass, which is resistant to thermal shock. You can pour hot water directly into it, but it is not designed for use on a stovetop or with open flame.
How do I ensure the best taste from my tea using this pot?
Use high-quality loose-leaf tea. Add the leaves directly to the pot, pour hot water over them, and allow them to steep fully. Experiment with steeping times and water temperatures specific to your tea type.
Can I use this teapot for coffee or other beverages?
While primarily designed for tea, you could technically use it for other loose-leaf herbs or even coffee grounds, but its optimal performance is for tea.
What should I do if I break the teapot?
As a glass product, it can break if dropped or mishandled. If damage occurs, please dispose of it safely and consider purchasing a replacement.
Troubleshooting
Tea leaves are difficult to remove
Ensure all tea leaves are scooped or flushed out immediately after brewing before rinsing. For stubborn residue, a soft brush can be used.
Cloudy residue inside the glass
This can sometimes occur with hard water. Try washing with a solution of white vinegar and water, then rinse thoroughly.
Tea tastes weak
Ensure you are using enough tea leaves and that the water temperature is appropriate for your specific tea type. Allow sufficient steeping time.
Glass appears to have a crack or chip
Inspect the glass carefully. If any damage is found, discontinue use immediately to prevent breakage.
