FAQs

What is the capacity of the teapot?

The Camellios Teapot has a capacity of 600ml, which is approximately 2 standard cups.

How much tea does the measuring spoon hold?

The stainless steel measuring spoon is designed to scoop 2g of loose leaf tea, which is generally recommended as a starting point per cup.

Can the teapot be used on a stovetop?

No, the teapot is made of borosilicate glass and is designed for brewing with hot water, not for direct stovetop heating.

Is the included tea blend suitable for beginners?

The artisan tea blends are chosen for their quality and enjoyable flavor profiles, making them suitable for both experienced tea drinkers and those new to loose leaf tea.

What is the benefit of using a glass teapot?

A glass teapot allows you to visually monitor the steeping process, appreciate the color of the tea, and is non-reactive, preserving the pure taste of the tea.

How should I clean the infuser?

The infuser can usually be cleaned by rinsing out the tea leaves after use. For a deeper clean, hand wash with warm water and mild soap, or check if it is dishwasher safe.

Can I choose a different tea blend if I don't like the default green option?

This specific gift set comes with a choice of artisan tea blends. Please refer to the purchasing options to select your preferred flavor.

Troubleshooting

Tea leaves escaping the infuser

Ensure the infuser is properly seated in the teapot. For very fine tea particles, consider using a finer mesh tea strainer in addition or selecting teas with larger leaf particles.

Teapot glass appears cloudy

Mineral deposits from water can cause cloudiness. Mix a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water, let it sit in the teapot for an hour, then rinse thoroughly. Hand washing with mild soap is recommended to prevent this.

Tea tastes weak or too strong

Adjust the amount of tea leaves used or the steeping time. Refer to the specific tea's instructions for optimal brewing parameters. Ensure you are using the precision spoon for consistent measurements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Wash Components: Before first use, hand wash the glass teapot, infuser, and stainless steel spoon with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
  2. Add Tea: Place the desired amount of loose leaf tea into the infuser (typically two scoops from the provided spoon for a full teapot).
  3. Brew: Place the infuser into the teapot. Pour hot water over the tea leaves according to the tea's recommended steeping temperature and time.
  4. Steep: Allow the tea to steep. Remove the infuser once brewing is complete to prevent over-extraction.

Compatibility:

This set is designed for loose leaf teas. The teapot is compatible with hot water. It is not intended for stovetop use.

Care:

  • Teapot: Hand wash with mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the glass. Dishwasher use is not recommended to preserve the clarity and integrity of the glass.
  • Infuser & Spoon: These are typically dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended for longevity.
  • Storage: Store components in a dry place. Ensure the teapot is completely dry before storing to prevent water spots.
