Glass Teapot with Tea Strainer

A heat-resistant borosilicate teapot with a removable strainer. Borosilicate is the laboratory glass — it handles the thermal shock of boiling water poured into a cold pot, which ordinary soda-lime glass doesn't reliably survive.

The strainer is what makes it worth having over a mug and a teabag. Loose leaf needs room to unfurl and circulate; cramped in an infuser ball it never opens properly and the tea tastes thin. Here the leaf moves freely and you lift the strainer out when it's brewed, so the pot doesn't keep stewing.

Why you'll love it

• Watch it brew — colour tells you when it's ready.
• Borosilicate glass — takes boiling water without cracking.
• Removable strainer — stop the brew rather than let it stew.
• Room for the leaf — loose tea opens properly.

Details

• Material: high borosilicate glass
• Includes: removable filter strainer
• Ideal for: loose leaf tea, blooming tea, herbal infusions

Lift the strainer out once the tea has brewed. Left in, it keeps extracting and a delicate green tea turns bitter within a few minutes.
