The shape and the strainer
The harmonious round shape of this 400 ml teapot is both pleasing to the eye and practical: the curve gives the leaves enough room to open fully during brewing, which allows the flavours and aromas to develop properly. The built-in strainer keeps the leaves out of the cup while still letting the tea move freely during steeping, so each pour stays clear without losing strength.
The glass body
The clear glass body is one of the small pleasures of brewing tea this way. Watching the colour deepen as the leaves open up is a soft signal that the brew is ready, without setting a timer for every cup. The glass also keeps the flavour clean — there is no porous material to absorb the aromas of previous brews — and shows off coloured teas like rooibos, hibiscus and pu-erh particularly well.
Size and use
The 400 ml capacity is right for two generous mugs or three smaller teacups, so the pot fits a quiet morning at home and a slower afternoon visit alike. The teapot weighs around 190 g empty, light enough to handle comfortably when full. It is made in China.
Care
Hand-wash the teapot and the strainer with warm water and a mild detergent, dry fully and store in a cool, dry place. Avoid sudden temperature changes — for example, pouring boiling water into a cold pot — as this can stress the glass. With gentle care, the teapot stays clear and easy to use through many cups of tea.
