Quick Facts
A small glass teapot with a stainless steel infuser basket, sized for one or two people. It holds 14 ounces, enough for two teacups or one big mug, and the clear glass shows you the color of the tea while it brews.
The basket is the useful part. Spoon loose leaf into it, pour in hot water, and when the tea tastes right, lift the basket out. The leaves stop brewing, so the second cup tastes like the first instead of turning bitter. Whole-leaf teas are nice to watch in glass: the golden tips in our Himalayan Golden black tea and the downy buds of Silver Tips white tea open up as they steep.
The pot is borosilicate glass, which handles hot water better than ordinary glass. Let boiling water sit for a moment before you pour, keep the pot off the stove, and wash it by hand. The basket and lid can go in the dishwasher.
Most of the tea we bring in from Ilam, Nepal is whole leaf, and whole leaf needs room to open. This pot gives it that room in a size that suits one or two people, and the glass lets you watch it happen.

INFUSER
Stainless steel basket
In a regular teapot the leaves sit in the water until the pot is empty, and the last cup comes out bitter. A removable infuser fixes that. You lift the basket when the tea is ready, and the rest of the pot stays the same strength.
Glass helps too, because you can see the color. White and green teas stay pale, black teas turn amber to copper, and after a few pots you can judge strength by eye. New to loose leaf? Our guide to using a tea infuser covers the basics.
