Product Information
Full details
The Kinto Pebble Teapot is designed for tea enthusiasts who appreciate a blend of minimalist aesthetics and functional utility in their daily ritual. Its standout feature is an expertly crafted spout that ensures a clean, steady pour every time, though its 480ml capacity is best suited for individual servings or intimate tea sessions rather than large gatherings. Inspired by the natural shape of pebbles, this piece brings elegant, organic design to your kitchen while offering the durability of microwave and dishwasher-safe materials.

FAQs
Is the teapot safe for use on a stovetop?
No, the Kinto Pebble Teapot is designed for steeping and serving, not for heating directly on a flame or electric stovetop.
Can I use the teapot without the strainer?
Yes, you can use the teapot without the strainer if you are using tea bags, though the spout's flow is optimized for use with the included strainer.
What are the exact dimensions?
The teapot has a diameter of 6.5cm, a height of 10.5cm, and a total width of 16cm including the spout and handle.
Is the handle comfortable to hold?
The handle is designed to align with the organic, pebble-inspired shape and provides a comfortable grip for the standard 480ml weight.
Does the exterior get hot?
As with most ceramic teapots, the exterior will become hot when filled with boiling water. Use caution when handling.
Troubleshooting
Tea leaves escaping into the cup
Ensure the stainless steel strainer is seated correctly in the rim and check if the tea leaves are too fine; if using 'dust' grade tea, consider an additional filter or larger-leaf varieties.
Strainer is difficult to remove
Allow the teapot to cool slightly before removing the strainer to prevent thermal expansion of the materials from creating a snug fit.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Kinto Pebble Teapot, simply insert the stainless steel strainer into the base. Add your preferred loose-leaf tea, pour hot water over the leaves, and cover with the lid. The teapot measures 10.5cm in height and 16cm in width, making it compact enough for most standard storage shelves. To maintain the teapot, rinse the strainer immediately after use to prevent tea tannin buildup. While the product is dishwasher safe, it is recommended to place it in the top rack of your dishwasher to avoid accidental impact with other heavier kitchenware. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh metal scouring pads, as these may scratch the surface finish.
