Know before you buy
Yes, the borosilicate glass is microwave safe. Just be sure to remove the stainless steel mesh strainer before placing the pot in the microwave.
The mesh strainer is designed for standard loose-leaf teas. While it works well for most varieties, very fine dust or needle-like leaves may occasionally pass through the mesh.
With a 450mL (15 oz) capacity, this teapot typically yields about two standard tea cups per brew, making it ideal for personal use or sharing with one other person.
The wide opening and smooth glass surface make it very easy to rinse out. It is also dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to maintain the clarity of the glass over time.
The handle is designed to stay cool to the touch while the tea is brewing, allowing for a comfortable and controlled pour even when the pot is filled with hot water.
