FAQs
Is the Hestia Bee Hive Teapot dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash the teapot to preserve the delicate bee illustrations and the integrity of the ceramic glaze.
Can I put this teapot on the stove?
No, this is a decorative ceramic serving teapot and is not designed for use on direct heat sources like stovetops.
What is the material of the teapot?
The teapot is crafted from high-quality ceramic with a protective glossy finish.
Is the lid included?
Yes, each teapot comes with a matching lid designed to fit the bee hive structure securely.
Does it work well for both tea bags and loose-leaf tea?
Yes, it is compatible with both; however, for loose-leaf tea, you should use an external strainer or infuser to prevent leaves from clogging the spout.
Troubleshooting
Tea leaves blocking the spout
Use a loose-leaf tea infuser or a fine-mesh strainer inside the pot to keep leaves contained during the pour.
Dull appearance over time
Gently buff the surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to restore the shine of the glossy finish.
