Love this tea pot
Love this teapot. So much easier to brew looseleaf tea in this. The pour is clean every time.

Good Tea Pot
So this pot is a good value for the money and the glass is pretty high quality as it does not affect the tea quality. It has a solid build quality and weight to go along with it. Tea flavor is always better when brewed in solid glass pots. The size is good for a full solid mug of tea. It cleans up pretty well and makes making tea a breeze.

Most convenient teapot ever
I loved the idea of this teapot from the first time I saw it. A strainer built into the lid? Genius! If I could give this product 10 stars, I would.Normally, my tea process goes like this:1. Boil water in electric kettle (to be able to control precise temperatures for different tea varieties)2. Pour water over loose leaf tea (SO much better than tea bags) in a tea pot (and not in a closed strainer) so that the tea can really expand and release its flavors3. Pour into mug or thermos over a small strainer to catch the tea.4. Keep strainer set aside for multiple uses.I love tea. And this was the absolute best way until this tea pot. And I’ve tried them all. I’ve used the brew in the electric kettle devices and they simply don’t taste the same and are a hassle to clean.The problems with the method above is that step 3 usually ends up with the strainer becoming too full of tea and creating some splashing, sometimes requiring a funnel as well if you’re pouring into a tall thermos. Then you have to have a bowl or some vessel to hold your dripping strainer in case you want to resteep your tea. It’s inconvenient, but there was no better way…until Kinto’s unitea one touch tea pot.It makes the tea brewing process so much more streamlined and accessible for people who don’t want to do a whole tea ceremony every morning, but demand quality of flavor. Now I just pour my hot water into this teapot and then I can pour into my mug. The brewed tea can just hang out in the pot until I decide to add more water, it’s perfect.I’ve given many as gifts.So thank you Kinto for making my life easier. If you’re reading this – I would like to suggest a larger size. I know there are two sizes, but an even larger one would really seal the deal for me as a lifelong fan. If I’m having tea by myself or with one other person, these are great! But I find I have to resort to my original method if I need to serve 4+ people or even 3 people (when I’m filling thermoses).

Rubber seal very loose
The rubber seal kept sliding up when closing the lid.

I absolutely love this teapot! So small and cute; perfect for me as my fiancé is not a tea drinker. I was on the cusp of sending it back though because the rubber seal was not fitting properly — the lid would try to fall off when I was pouring and the smaller tea leaves would slip through the gap. Then I realised something big: the rubber seal lip was pointing down (not up like in the picture). I took the rubber bit off, flipped it over and now it works flawlessly! So happy I figured this out! I don’t need to hold the lid to pour at all and nothing gets past the seal.

Sehr tolle Kanne.Wie alle Kinto Produkte einwandfrei verarbeitet und optisch sehr elegant.Der Tee hat noch nie so gut geschmeckt :)Obacht: Bei Tees mit kurzer Zieh-Zeit ist diese Kanne dennoch eher ungeeignet.Brüht man zum Beispiel einen japanischen Schwarztee auf, will ihn nur 3-5 Minuten ziehen lassen, so kann man zwar nach besagter Zeit eine Tasse herausgießen, die verbleibende Wassermenge zieht aber weiter. Der nun noch verbleibende Tee in der Kanne wird bitter, da man den Tee aufgrund der Art der Kanne nicht entnehmen kann. Das ist ein grundlegendes Problem bei Kannen mit Ausgusssieb wie dieser hier. Trinkt man aber zu zweit, bleibt kein Wasser in der Kanne und man stößt nicht auf dieses Problem. Notfalls weiß man sich auch mit einer großen (z.B. Kaffee-)Tasse zu helfen, nur ist diese Lösung recht unelegant, trotz wunderschöner Kanne.Uneingeschränkt kann ich diese Tasse also nur an Leute empfehlen, die Grün- und Schwarztee meiden, oder ihrem Tee gerne aus riesigen Tassen schlürfen. Nur kann man sich in letzterem Fall auch gleich einen Beutel in die Tasse hängen.

la teiera è graziosa e funzionale. può essere lavata in lavastoviglie (senza il coperchio) e nel microonde.
