Review: Great tool for making a great cup of tea or a small pitcher of tea - 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.
Review: This product is far better than the reviews would indicate - This is the most unfair poorly rated item I've ever seen on desertcart. I've owned too many tea accessories over the past 30 years of my life to count, of every kind. In my family, we each make our own pot of loose leaf tea in the morning, and again later in the day. For years now (since I first saw these in a tea shop) I've been using these at least twice a day for several family members. So I keep 5 of these in the cupboard. They are the size of a large mug, so they are easiest to serve one person. They are ideal for loose leaf tea, compared to any other pot, because they allow tea to fill all the space (unlike an insert, which reduces the space in which tea leaves can expand and diffuse). The pot is beautiful only because it is a simple glass vessel and allows you to watch your tea leaves and floral or herb tisanes to expand. Pouring is idea. The filters prevent even the finely ground debris of Irish Breakfast tea to be held back. When we are done, removing the cover allows the entire mass of tea to be easily pulled out (as compared to a narrower necked teapot). It takes 10 seconds. I always dump my tea in the garden beds or my compost pile, because it's good for the garden. It's perhaps not the prettiest teapot out there. But it's the most beautiful for the function it offers. They age well and I've never had one break. But I do wish the stainless steel and its mesh and spring edge were shinier over the years of use. Really, a minor complaint for what has turned out to be the best tea accessory I have ever purchased in my life. I see people here comparing this pot to a French press. But that's like expecting a spoon to function as a fork. The product design is intended for a different function. And I do not like what a French press does to tea: compressing it to extract more bitter compounds. For tea, this is precisely what's needed to make a great cup. I suppose the only addition I would give it is an insulated sleeve to keep the tea at its hottest for steeping, since glass is a heat conductor. But I've not seen a teapot offering that.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: country of origin please**
A: It is made in China, shows it on the bottom of the box.  I'm returning it as I was led to believe it was made in the USA from the other answer.  I'll try and post a picture.

**Q: Why is this item a "subscribe and save" item? Does it break that often?**
A: I have had mine for 5 years and I use it every single day and put it in the dishwasher every day and it has never broken.  Great quality!  If you slam it against something in the sink I am sure it will break like any other glass but it
will last a very long time if you take care of it and use it as intended.

**Q: How do you get the leaves out and do they steep all the time they are in the pot?**
A: I keep the leaves in until the top is empty -- i usually drink it all over 24 hours. Then I dump the leaves into the trash or compost pile. The lid/filter is very easy to clean. I use a dish brush, and it take 5 seconds. I have had mine 3 years and love it -- i dropped it today, though, and it broke. I am buying another one today. : )

**Q: Are there any plastic parts that come into contact with the hot water or tea?
Is this all Stainless Steel & Glass?**
A: yes, all stainless steel and glass

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect teapot
*by N***A on September 29, 2025*

I make pots of tea with loose leaves every day and this teapot is perfect for one, no matter how fine the leaf none end up in your cup. They pour perfectly with no drips. There’s also a larger version for making several cups of tea. I recommend using a wooden spoon to stir the leaves as using a metal spoon can crack the glass (I learned this the hard way). Amazon sells a lovely olive wood spoon which is perfect for this. It’s great or tisanes too, I often make fresh mint or nettle tea. The filter is stainless steel and easy to dismantle and clean if necessary, no plastic anywhere. I wish Rishi made tea cosies to fit their pots as glass can lose heat quickly, I made one myself out of two layered fleece and that works well. Great gift for a tea loving friend!
