Rishi Tea Simple Brew Teapot - For 12oz Loose Tea Preparation, Built-in Strainer, Everyday Teaware, Easy to Clean, Borosilicate Glass, Enjoy Hot or Iced Tea - 400ml

I was concerned that my XXL hands wouldn't fit into the tall and narrow glass container, making it difficult to thoroughly wash. My hand barely fits inside but it's not difficult to clean the teapot. I also bought the 12 ounce version and it's very easy to clean. I was concerned that the strainer wouldn't be fine enough to catch the small tea dust and I'd have a cloudy cup of tea with silt in the bottom of the cup. I poured the tea into a clear glass and there was no debris. The brewed tea was dark and rich, but had a wonderful clarity with no sediment and apparently no suspended particles. I had used the first teaspoon of high quality tea (Yorkshire Gold) from a new package, so there probably wasn't much of the tea dust that's found in the lower grade "floor sweepings" brands of tea, but the filter apparently works very well. I was concerned that a filter that was effective would be slow, but it only took a few seconds to pour a cup of tea. It didn't take much longer than pouring tea from a teapot without a filter. I finally broke the 12 ounce French press tea cup that I use 2-3 times per day so I just bought a replacement. I prefer to drink directly from the 12 ounce cup, so I unscrewed the stainless lid from the French press and replaced the lid with a short stainless machine screw that I use as a tiny handle stalk. I microwave the water and tea in the borosilicate glass. When steeping is finished, I push the French press an inch into the cup to filter the tea leaves and I sip the tea directly from this tea cup. I wish someone made a 12 ounce French press tea mug that didn't need to be modified. Who wants to wash two cups? I also wish the glass was thicker so it would be less fragile. The replacement 12 ounce tea mug has the etched Rishi logo. I liked it better without a logo. The design and build quality are both excellent. This is a great tool for making a great cup of tea, or a small pitcher of tea.

Perfect for loose tea leaves. I've only used a few times but worked exceptionally well. Looking forward to getting the most out of my loose tea leaves 🍃

Was out to lunch and they had these. My friend and I immediately ordered one each. If you love French press this won’t disappoint!1 would make a great gift for tea lovers. Easy to use, easy to clean.

I was looking for an option for loose leaf tea that did not restrict me like those little tea ball chambers that sometimes open up and ruin the tea. I saw this and thought that it was very similar to a french press for coffee. Since I was already familiar with the effectiveness of a french press I thought that I would give it a try. The teapot arrived well packaged and ready to use. It is a simple two piece system. There is the borosilicate “jar” part and the lid with the built in strainer. The whole thing is very light and easy to use but strong and well built. It can be a little tight when putting the lid on but you want that to ensure no little particles get in your cup of tea. I have a large loose leaf tea collection and often blend different types so this device really helps with that. Just add your tea of choice, hot water and place the lid on. Wait as long as your tea needs to steep and simply pour into your tea cup over some honey or whatever you prefer if you sweeten your tea. Materials are glass and stainless steel so there should be no issues with rust or corrosion. The tea pot has a pouring lip so it fill a cup without any spillage. I gifted one of these to my son and he absolutely loves how easy it makes brewing loose leaf teas. Over all it is a well built little teapot that will provide years of value to your tea drinking enjoyment. Not one bit of tea leaves has made it in to my cup so far.

Love the minimalist design and especially the use of glass and stainless steel. Brews tea perfectly and easily. Very easy to clean

Great teapot. Glass just feels a little thin and easy to break but so far, no problems as I handle it with care.

This has been very good for my raspberry leaf tea! I will brew it early in the morning and let it sit all day so it is strong. It is to help with pregnancy. If I used it within the recommended time it would stay hot, but of course I would prefer to drink it as an iced coffee. There is no plastic, which I very much appreciated, no issue with leakage, easy to pour, the lid sales great so I never have issues with the looseleaf tea getting into my drink. It is very durable very easy to wash and I highly recommend.

So I had a similar, but good quality, pot from World Market that I loved, but I needed a second one and World Market quit selling theirs. I purchased the Rishi 20 oz and I am sorry I tried this one as expensive as it was. The glass pot is nice, but the lid is cheaply made. When I first got the pot I noticed the lid was so tight it barely went into the pot and it felt like it was scratching the glass. The screen piece in the lid also had rough spots with some sharp wire, unlike the more finished screen on my older pot. Now the lid has fallen apart. So after a little over 2 months I am going to have to replace it. I don't recommend this one.

En un viaje a NY, la conocí en un par de cafeterías de Brooklyn, y me gustó tanto que me animé a buscarla para comprarla. Es de los pocos recipientes que permite disfrutar del proceso de infusión durante la espera. El filtro de acero es excelente, no deja pasar ni una hoja. Muy cómodo de lavar y se puede lavar en lavavajillas.

Fabulous for making loose leaf tea. Much better than the tea egg or filtering spoons I have used in the past. Size is perfect for a large mug of tea. Love it. I actually bought two of them!

I love this product. If only they made it in 2L.

great and just what I wanted
