FAQs

Can I use this teapot for coffee grounds?

While the infuser is designed for tea leaves, it may not be suitable for coffee grounds, as they are typically finer and may clog the mesh. This teapot is optimized for brewing tea.

What material is the infuser made of?

The infuser is made of high-quality stainless steel with a micro-mesh filter.

Is it safe to put boiling water directly into the glass teapot?

Yes, the glass is designed to be stovetop safe, meaning it can handle the heat required for boiling water. However, avoid extreme temperature shocks, such as pouring cold water into a very hot teapot.

How much loose leaf tea should I use?

A general guideline is 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea per 8 ounces (approx. 240ml) of water. Adjust the amount based on your personal preference and the specific type of tea being brewed.

Can I put the teapot in the dishwasher?

It is recommended to hand wash the teapot to preserve its quality and appearance. Dishwasher cycles can be harsh on glass and metal components.

What does the 'steamer system' do?

The steamer system is integrated into the design to enhance the circulation of water around the tea leaves during infusion, promoting a more thorough and flavorful brew.

Is the charcoal color just a coating?

The charcoal color is part of the teapot's design and should not chip or peel under normal use and care.

Troubleshooting

Tea leaves escaping the infuser

Ensure the micro-mesh filter is properly seated and that the infuser lid is closed securely. If using very fine tea leaves, consider using a secondary paper filter or a tea ball inside the infuser.

Teapot lid is loose

Check for any debris around the rim of the teapot or the lid. Ensure the lid is placed squarely on the opening.

Cloudy or stained glass

Hard water deposits can cause cloudiness. Try soaking the teapot in a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water for a few hours, then rinse thoroughly. For tea stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and rinsed.

Water heating too slowly on stovetop

Ensure the teapot is placed on a burner that matches its base diameter. Use medium heat for optimal and safe heating. Avoid rapid temperature changes.
