Glass Teapots

Glass infuser teapots for loose-leaf tea. The clear glass lets you watch the leaves open and the colour deepen, and the removable infuser lifts out when the tea is just right, so the pot never stews. Several come gift boxed, which makes them an easy present for a tea lover.

Which size?

• 350ml: one large mug or two small cups, for a desk or a quiet morning.
• 400ml: one generous mug with a little top-up.
• 550ml: two mugs, for couples and weekend breakfasts.
• 780ml to 950ml: three or four cups, for family, friends and afternoon tea.

Brewing and care

Warm the pot with a splash of hot water first. Black tea likes water just off the boil for three to five minutes; green tea prefers it cooler, around 70 to 80°C, for two to three minutes. Hand wash once cool, rinse the infuser under the tap, and keep the teapot off the hob and other direct heat.
