Teabloom Kyoto 2-in-1 Tea Kettle and Tea Maker – Glass Teapot with Removable Loose Tea Infuser – Tea Connoisseur's Choice

I really compared SO many teapots and took a LONG time to choose one. This was my choice after much deliberation AND review-reading. I couldn't be more happy with this teapot! The "squatty", more Japanese styling of the pot allows the infuser to reach nearly all the way to the bottom of the pot, making the most of your brewing time and your tea. Made of borosilicate glass, you're going to think it's too delicate to use, but let me tell you, it's plenty tough! It's also a much healthier option in teapot materials. The infuser is large, a thin but sturdy stainless steel with the absolute tiniest pin-sized holes, allowing full flow of water and plenty of space for the tea leaves to fully expand, giving you the most flavor possible. I read negatives from a few reviews regarding the shape of the handle, that it wasn't ergonomically friendly for pouring. That is hogwash. I ordered the largest size of these Kyoto pots, 36 oz, and the handle is plenty large enough and appropriately shaped to pick up and pour from this teapot. I also read other review that were negative about the spout, saying that it dripped. More hogwash. This doesn't drip any more than any other spout in the world; I haven't seen it drip on my counter yet. This can be used on the stovetop to boil your water, as well, but I have an electric quick-boil kettle (another Amazon purchase -- look for my review!), so I have no need for this feature. But if I could give this TEN stars, I would. Why? In addition to the above reasons, let me tell you... this teapot doesn't just brew your tea. This teapot makes your morning tea, your afternoon tea, and your evening tea all feel like a special treat. Like something special that you are doing for yourself today. SOMETHING in your day should feel like that! Let it be this teapot! I should note: in the photo, you will see this teapot on top of a tea warmer which is NOT INCLUDED with this purchase (it is also available on Amazon; I purchased my warmer from Teabloom). The tin of tea in the photo is also NOT INCLUDED in this purchase. Only the teapot is.

tea pot works and is pretty good. It is more durable than I thought it would be given its delicate look.. Does enough for a good bit of tea. Holds temp like glass normally does. The only two downsides I can say about this is you have to push down on the front of the lid otherwise you will risk getting tea leaves and herbs into your drink. and the handle is a bit hard to hold on to, being made of glass I suppose, so it slips out and you have to use your hand to apply pressure the main body of the tea pot, which sadly is still very hot after you put boiling water into it, So you get a little pain with your drink

Super cute and perfect for a single cup of warm infused tea! Great quality!

PROS: Overall, I love the design of this teapot particularly because of the strainer basket reaching to the bottom of it. I use somewhat expensive tea leaves & the strainer ending 3/4th of the way down has always been an issue with me. Also, I see the width of the strainer as a huge plus. Tea leaves easily circulate to brew evenly & that makes all the difference in the world. High quality tea leaves open & expand often so room is needed for them to brew nicely. I wanted a teapot that I could remove the strainer basket & still have a lid to fit on it. The glass pot I have has a lid that only fits if the strainer basket is inside. I don't want to leave tea leaves in brewed tea because it turns the tea bitter. I want to be able to remove it & then put it back in place for subsequent brewing. CONS: I bought one Amazon was selling as a returned item for a lower price but when I opened the box, I found the handle was broken in the middle. It wasn't packed very well so I don't know if an already broken pot was sent or if it was damaged in transit to me from Amazon. In processing the return, there was a note to contact Teabloom as well. I did & received an answer the same day asking for information so they could send a replacement. Excellent customer service. Before I repacked it, I took a good look at everything. Again, the design & pouring spout are exactly what i like so I was very pleased with that. I only have one glass teapot (smallish) because I use Japanese & Chinese traditional teapots mostly so I'm not a borosilicate glass expert. The glass coffee presses I've had were very sturdy but this pot is nothing like that. It may be stronger than it feels but it did feel very light & fragile. The glass pot I already have feels about the same though. I wouldn't ever use it on a heat source to be honest about it but then I don't with the pot I already have either. I'll pre-warm it with warm water & then pour in heated water for whatever oolong or green tea I'm using (cooler temp water). It's a hand wash, handle gently item I'm sure but I already do that so it's a non-issue for me. I don't think my entire universe must be able to be washed in a dishwasher. If you insist on a dishwasher, you'd be better off with a heavy, ceramic tea pot rather than a glass one. When the replacement arrives, I'll use it and update this review with how it handled everything. Something to note is that the lid needs to be held in place when pouring. That is really to be expected though given the type of tea pot it is. I must also hold the lids in place when pouring from my Japanese tetsubins or my Chinese Yixing pots.....it's absolutely normal to do that. More modern, non-traditional ceramic pots have hinged lids if that is the way you want to go. This isn't a daily cup of tea type pot like a good British Brown Betty is (which I use) but more to use for a special moment in your day when you want to relax & enjoy some excellent tea leaves you like. More to follow.........

Excellent. Nice big strainer to allow the leaves to unfurl.

Beautiful teapot. Works well on stove top.

This is a great teapot. It holds a good amount and cleans easily. The spout prevents all spillage. Highly recommend.

It looks good but be very careful it is very fragile. The glass top broke when I striked it with a cup next to the kettle. I understand it is glass but it is very thin. Needs to be more thicker so little strikes won’t break. But I like it so I bought another one just to use the cover.

Elle a rendu service quelques mois et puis le fond s'est fissuré... étonnant...

Top. Jolie design. Je me suis tourné vers cet article car je voulais une théière d'une contenance d'au moins un litre et qui passe dans mon frigo en terme de hauteur pour faire des thés glacés. Celle ci est toute en verre ce qui me plaît. Le couvercle également est en verre. La finition est impeccable. Le filtre est de bonne qualité et ne laisse pas passer de feuilles (déjà trois essaies avec des thés différents et aucun problème). Je recommande fortement

Ürün çok estetik ve kullanışlı. Camı çok ince ama dikkat edin..

A perfect little 2 cup teapot for real tea , not that stuff in plastic bags....aha ! you thought they were paper didn't you. The infuser is nice and wide and has such tiny holes that even the smallest leaves stay inside it and yet allow full flow of water to brew your chosen desire. A true no drip spout and very easy to wash. You can even heat it on your inducty thingy if you wish. Don't tell the vicar though will you sweetie. Mwah.

Nachdem meine 40 Jahre alte Kanne zerbrochen ist (wer eine umfunktionierte Kaffeekanne) hab ich hier bei Amazon diesen schönen Teezubereiter gefunden. Habe vorher meinen Schwarztee lose mit 2 Kannen und einem Sieb zubereitet. Die Teeblätter brauchen schliesslich Platz zum Entfalten des Aromas - p.s. trinke seit Jahren ausschliesslich Assam Tees. Habe heute zum ersten Mal diesen Teapot ausprobiert. Vor allem das hitzebeständige Borsalitglas begeistert mich, da ich die Teekanne auf der Herdplatte stehenlasse. Auch die Möglichkeit, den Tee auf der Herdplatte aufzukochen, finde ich gut - und ich kann die Kanne zum Aufwärmen in die Mikrowelle stellen - sehr praktisch, da ich mir eine Kanne mit ca. 800 ml über 2 bis 3 Stunden aufteile. Das herausnehmbare Sieb ist sehr feinporig und gibt dem Tee ausserdem genügend Platz zum Entfalten des Aromas. Trinke seit fast 40 Jahren Schwarztee und gehöre damit zu denjenigen, die noch gerne ein paar Teeblätter mitessen, daher kommen bei mir nach der Entnahme des Siebs noch ca. ein halber Teelöffel Blätter in die Kanne. Das einzigste, was ich zu bemängeln hätte, ist der Deckel: Ist ein bisschen wackelig und aus ziemlich dünnen Material. Man muss ihn beim Eingiessen festhalten, damit er nicht rausfällt - ist mir aber keinen Abzug bei der Bewertung wert. Und immerhin ist das Borsalitglas bis 500 °C hitzebeständig und schadstofffrei. Übrigens klappt das Ausgiessen bei mir tropffrei - ehrlich. Kann diese Kanne allen Teetrinkern empfehlen, die ihren Schwarztee auf die klassische Art zubereiten und geniessen.
