Glass Tea Pot Gift Set - Tempered Glass w/Infuser and Cups in Elegant Box Review

The glasses appear durable, but I won't put them in the dishwasher. You should wash them right after use and not leave in the sink with other dishes as they may crack and the slightest crack renders then useless. I have some other glasses and tea pots, and this one seems a little lower quality that the ones made by Purilina. But the set is nice when you have a guest over for tea.

Beautiful and practical, the clear (tempered glass) teapot lets you see when your tea is ready. The infuser lets you watch the tea blossom and brew while keeping it separate from the water. Gift set includes two tea cups and tea. Dishwasher safe. Not made for stove-top use. Pot: 20 oz., Cups: 1.7 oz., 8 blossom green tea: 70g - 8" x 8" x 4"

tea pot Review

I just used my new tea pot this morning and am satisfied with the purchase. Reasons: It seems to be well made; it has a nice design, and is practical for my use. I get up about 4 am and the tea pot with the beautiful color of the liquid looks great on the solid glass tea warmer glowing in the dark! (I purchased the Northwest Glass heavy glass warmer). The included glass infuser allows me to see the tea leaves and the slats (great concept instead of holes that allow tea leaves through - UPDATE BELOW) that allow brewing are located around the lower sides. That means that after brewing and using a full pot, I can add a small amount of additional water and have more tea. This is something important to consider when purchasing a tea pot....if the infuser does not sit low enough in the pot, you must use a lot of water before the tea can steep. This pot is good for about 20 ounces of tea. You can't fill it to the stated 24 ounce capacity or the liquid will spill from the spout (and I'm assuming by "3 cups" they mean 3 eight ounce cups). I purchased the tea warmer also which I reviewed under that item. There is just one thing that could have been better designed....when pouring the last drop you must keep your finger on the lid because it is not designed to stay on without holding it. But the pot is designed in a way where most of the liquid pours out easily, the beautifully curved spout does not drip, and you only have to hold the top for the last few drops.
UPDATE: Now that I have used this teapot daily, I have learned that gallons of water are probably being used to clean the glass infuser!!! The tea leaves get stuck in the glass slats. I have a sprayer on my sink and I end up getting water all over just trying to spray the inside and outside of the slats to loosen the tea leaves. If you don't like to spend a lot of time cleaning (and using a lot of water) then this will not work for you. The pot itself is really nice.

This beautiful english-stlye glass tea pot has a 3-cup capacity and is made of borosilicate glass which is lead-free and made from 20-percent recycled materials. Because there is a glass tea infuser included, there's no need for messy tea balls or separate metal strainers. The infuser is great for loose teas but can also be removed for flower tea buds.great for warming and brewing all types of tea. A wire grid is included for use on electric stoves, but is not required for gas stoves. Use medium to medium high heat. Dishwasher and microwave safe. Excellent taiwan quality.

GROSCHE Merlin Thermal Glass Infuser Teapot 1200 ml 40 fl oz. capacity stovetop safe for loose tea Review

GROSCHE Merlin Thermal Glass Infuser Teapot 1200 ml 40 fl oz. capacity stovetop safe for loose tea

Pros:
- It's beautiful. Tea looks beautiful in it.
- It has a lovely pour.
Cons:
- You must make a full pot of tea, or at least 34oz in order to use the pot, because the infuser does not reach anywhere close to the bottom of the pot.
- The glass infuser has 12 razor-thin slits in the bottom of it. That's it. Loose whole-bud chamomile clogs it once it breaks down.
- Though it's thermal, the tea does not stay hot in it for more than 10 - 15 minutes. You must keep it on a heating element.
- It's extremely fragile. I thought this thermal glass would be much thicker. The glass is very thin, and considering there are 3 interacting pieces (top, pot, infuser), it feels as though you could break any piece just by clicking it too hard against another piece.
- You cannot remove the infuser and put the top back on, as another reviewer stated. It will fall through the pot.
I decided to return it.

This unique GROSCHE Design will inspire the most luxurious tea experience! Made of strong and lightweight GROSCHE medical grade Borosilicate Glass, this 1.2 liter full capacity (40 fl oz) tea pot makes 6 tea cups per steeping. Great for entertaining, it's a visual masterpiece to show off your teas as they steep and give color to the pot. It comes with a borosilicate glass steeper - infuser basket to hold your fine loose-leaf teas. Perfect for use with the GROSCHE SAHARA Tea pot warmer (not included) to keep your tea warm for hours.Since this teapot is made of heat resistant glass that is similar to Pyrex, it can also be used on a gas stovetop on low to medium flame as a water kettle. You can boil the water in the pot, and then just add 2-3 tsp of your favorite gourmet loose leaf tea and allow it to steep for a few minutes. once you have poured out all the tea from the pot, you can easily add more hot water and your gourmet tea leaves will re-steep and give you another great pot of tea. This works best with loose leaf and gourmet teas, green teas, and naturally flavored green teas (not ideal for flowering teas as it is meant only to be used with the included infuser).It is dishwasher and microwave safe as well- of course since its glass - you will want to handle it with appropriate care like Glass. This high quality GROSCHE tea pot is guaranteed for life against ever becoming cloudy even after many, many years of use.Since it is made of GROSCHE Borosilicate Glass,it is lightweight yet very strong and will give you years of use. It is a 3 piece teapot, with the pot itself, the built in steeper, and the cover for the teapot. it comes in the original GROSCHE packaging box.Remember to pick up your GROSCHE SAHARA teapot warmer along with this for a visual and a flavorful tea steeping experience! They make great gifts too!
