Know before you buy
No, this teapot is not stovetop, microwave, or induction compatible. It is designed specifically for serving tea, so you should heat your water in a separate kettle before pouring it into the pot.
The Ellipse Teapot is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the handmade borosilicate glass and the stainless steel components, we recommend hand washing with mild soap.
The oversized stainless steel strainer provides ample space for tea leaves to fully expand and circulate. This allows for a more complete extraction of flavor and aroma compared to smaller, more restrictive infusers.
The silicone base serves two functions: it provides a non-slip grip on your table or countertop and acts as an insulator to help protect surfaces from heat while keeping your tea warm for longer.
Yes, the angular steel handle is ergonomically designed for a secure and comfortable grip. Its shape balances the weight of the 1.3L capacity, allowing for a steady, controlled pour.
