Know before you buy
No, the UNITEA teapot is not stovetop safe. You should heat your water separately in a kettle and pour it into the glass pot once it reaches the desired temperature.
Yes, the glass pot is microwave safe, which is convenient if you need to reheat your tea. However, please ensure you remove the stainless steel lid before placing the pot in the microwave.
The teapot features a permanent stainless steel mesh filter integrated into the lid. While it is excellent for standard loose-leaf teas, very fine tea dust or herbal powders may occasionally pass through the mesh.
Yes, both the glass pot and the lid components are dishwasher safe. The simple, modular design makes it easy to disassemble and clean thoroughly.
Yes, the glass body is compatible with standard tealight candle warmers. This is a great way to maintain the temperature of your tea during longer sessions.
Yes, the lid is equipped with a silicone ring that creates a snug fit. This prevents the lid from slipping off while you pour, even when the pot is tilted at a steep angle.
