Mono Classic Teapot Integrated Warmer
A design icon since 1983, the Mono Classic Teapot by Tassilo von Grolman revolutionized tea culture with its elegant, Bauhaus-inspired form and exceptional functionality. Its nearly full-size stainless steel mesh strainer allows tea leaves to fully unfold, ensuring optimal aroma development. Made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass with a metal frame and plastic handle, the pot is durable and thoughtfully designed — the specific geometry keeps tea crumbs in the pot’s base while pouring. The teapot is available with or without an integrated warmer and can be complemented by matching cups and accessories by Mono. The glass is dishwasher safe; we recommend handwashing strainer, frame, and lid. A pioneer of modern tea preparation, the Mono Classic is part of major design collections worldwide — from New York’s MoMA to London’s V&A Museum.

Know before you buy
Yes, the integrated warmer is designed to be used with a standard tea light candle to keep your tea at an ideal serving temperature.
Absolutely. Borosilicate glass is highly resistant to thermal shock and heat-resistant up to 200°C, making it both durable and safe for regular brewing.
The glass body is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. However, we recommend handwashing the stainless steel strainer, metal frame, and lid to maintain their finish and structural integrity over time.
The stainless steel mesh is designed to accommodate full-leaf expansion for better flavor, but it is fine enough to handle most standard loose-leaf teas. The teapot's geometry also helps trap smaller tea crumbs in the base while you pour.
Yes, the Mono Classic Teapot is available in both versions, with or without the integrated warmer base, depending on your preference for serving.
The teapot has a 1.5-liter capacity, which is ideal for serving multiple cups during a gathering or for enjoying several refills throughout the day.
