Glass Teapot with Loose Leaf Infuser

This Teapot from Velleora Home Decor is borosilicate glass with a removable infuser basket, so loose leaf tea has room to unfurl properly rather than being compressed in a ball infuser where most of the leaf never touches water.

Glass also lets you see the brew, which is the practical way to judge strength - tea is ready when it looks ready, and the leaves can be lifted out at that moment rather than left to stew into bitterness while you guess.

Two sizes are offered. Borosilicate handles boiling water directly from a kettle without thermal shock, and the wide basket suits whole-leaf teas, herbs and fruit infusions. Lift the basket out once brewed rather than leaving it in. Hand wash to keep the glass clear, do not take it from a fridge to boiling water, and stop using it if it chips.
