- Is the LT teapot good for loose-leaf tea?
- Yes. The 18-8 stainless strainer is wide, so whole and large leaves have room to open. It handles most leaf styles, from rolled oolong to long green leaves.
- Can I put the LT teapot in the microwave?
- No. The porcelain body and metal parts are not microwave safe. Heat water separately and pour it in.
- How much tea does it hold?
- 600 ml, or about 20 oz, which is roughly one large mug or two small cups. It is designed for brewing a single serving.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- The porcelain pot and the stainless strainer are dishwasher safe. The handle combines stainless steel and silicone and is also listed as dishwasher safe, but washing by hand and drying right away is safer for the metal.
- Does the lid get hot?
- The lid is built so it does not get hot easily. It also serves as a rest for the strainer or a tea bag.
- Why does the glaze look uneven?
- The porcelain is made in Japan, and glaze unevenness varies from piece to piece, as do size and shape. That variation is normal, not a defect.
