Product Information

Full details

The La Cafetiere Darjeeling Loose Leaf Glass Teapot is designed for tea enthusiasts who appreciate the visual aspect of brewing and desire a mindful tea-making experience. Its key benefit is allowing a clear view of the steeping process while ensuring a clean pour thanks to its fine-mesh infuser and anti-drip spout. A potential caveat for some users might be the reliance on hand-washing due to its glass construction.

FAQs

Can I put the teapot on a stovetop to heat water?

No, the La Cafetiere Darjeeling teapot is made of glass and is not designed for direct stovetop heating. Always heat your water separately and then pour it into the teapot.

What is the capacity of the teapot?

The teapot has a capacity of 900ml, which is equivalent to approximately 1.5 pints or about four standard cups.

How do I clean the stainless steel infuser?

The infuser can be rinsed under warm water. For a deeper clean, use a soft brush to remove any trapped tea leaves and wash with warm, soapy water. Ensure it is dried thoroughly.

Is the teapot dishwasher safe?

Hand-washing is recommended to preserve the clarity and integrity of the glass. Dishwasher detergents and the high heat of dishwashers can potentially dull the glass over time.

What is the warranty period for this teapot?

The La Cafetiere Darjeeling teapot is covered by a 5-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

Can I use this teapot for cold brewing tea?

Yes, you can use this teapot for cold brewing. Simply add your tea leaves to the infuser, add cold water, and let it steep in the refrigerator for an extended period.

What type of tea is this teapot best suited for?

It is ideal for all types of loose leaf teas, including black, green, white, oolong, and herbal teas. It can also be used with tea bags.

Troubleshooting

Teapot has tea leaves in the cup.

Ensure the infuser's mesh is fully intact. Double-check that the infuser is properly seated and that no leaves have escaped around the edges. Remove the infuser promptly after steeping.

Water drips from the spout after pouring.

Wipe the spout with a dry cloth after each pour. Ensure the teapot is not overfilled, as this can sometimes cause overflow.

Glass appears cloudy or has residue.

Hand-wash the teapot with warm water and a mild detergent. For stubborn residue, a gentle soak in warm water with a bit of baking soda can help. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Handle feels loose.

Inspect the attachment point of the handle. If it appears to be a manufacturing defect, contact customer service. For minor looseness, consult a professional for potential repair, though this is uncommon.
