No, this piece is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand washing it gently to preserve the ceramic finish and the integrity of the integrated strainer.
The 12 oz. capacity is perfect for a generous single serving or two smaller traditional tea cups. It is designed specifically for intimate tea rituals rather than large gatherings.
Yes, the permanent mesh filter is designed to catch most loose-leaf varieties, ensuring a smooth, debris-free pour. However, extremely fine tea dust may occasionally pass through depending on the leaf grade.
