- Does the infuser work for fine tea leaves?
- It handles whole and large-leaf teas well. Fine dust and small broken leaves slip through into the cup, so use a finer mesh or a paper filter for those.
- Is the whole teapot dishwasher-safe?
- The glass body, stainless steel infuser and lid are listed as dishwasher-safe. Hand washing the glass is gentler and avoids chips.
- How many cups does it hold?
- It holds 34 fl oz, roughly three to four standard cups, depending on how much room the leaves take up.
- Can I use it for tea bags?
- Yes. Leave the infuser out and drop bags straight into the glass, or use the basket to hold them.
- Does it keep tea hot?
- No. Glass has little insulation, so tea cools faster than in ceramic or cast iron. A tea cozy or pre-warming the pot helps.
- Is it safe on the stove?
- It is a serving and steeping pot, not a kettle. Heat water separately and pour it in rather than placing the glass on a burner.
