FAQs

Can I use this teapot on the stovetop?

No, this stoneware teapot is not designed for direct contact with a stove burner. Only use it as a serving vessel for tea brewed with kettle-heated water.

Is the infuser dishwasher safe?

Yes, the stainless steel infuser is dishwasher safe, as is the stoneware teapot itself.

Does the exterior handle get hot?

While the stoneware is excellent at heat retention, the handle is designed to stay cooler than the body; however, caution is always advised when the pot contains boiling water.

What is the capacity of this teapot?

This model has a capacity of 1.3 liters, which is perfect for serving 4-5 cups of tea.

Can I use this for cold brewing?

Yes, its thermoresistance from -23°C to +260°C makes it perfectly safe for cold-brewing tea in the refrigerator.

Will the glaze stain over time?

The high-quality glaze is specifically designed to be stain and scratch-resistant, maintaining its finish even with daily use.

Troubleshooting

Tea leaves are escaping into the water.

Ensure the infuser is seated correctly in the rim and check that your tea leaves are not ground too finely for the mesh size.

Stubborn tea stains inside the pot.

Soak the interior with a solution of baking soda and warm water for 30 minutes before gently scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge.

The teapot feels heavy when lifting.

The stoneware construction provides durability but adds weight; ensure you are using a secure grip on the handle and consider not filling the pot to the brim if you find it difficult to handle.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: The teapot is easy to clean thanks to its glazed interior. It can be washed by hand with warm soapy water or placed in the dishwasher.
  • Stoneware Safety: While heat resistant, avoid moving the teapot directly from a cold environment, such as a freezer, into a preheated oven to prevent thermal shock.
  • Storage: Store in a dry place. The stoneware is robust, but should be handled with care to prevent chipping the edges.
