HIWARE 1000ml Glass Teapot with Removable Infuser, Stovetop Safe Tea Kettle, Blooming and Loose Leaf Tea Maker Set

Update- I did an exchange for a new teapot. That process was too easy and fast. UPS'd the one with the defective knob yesterday and received the new one today. Seems like the lid on this one is far less tight, so I'm feeling good about the knob staying on. I bumped it up to 5 stars. I just really like the infuser, the teapot shape, and size (not too big). Glad it worked out that I ended up with it. -------- I originally bought this tea pot for a gift. If the Amazon delivery person didn't toss the box onto my driveway and crush the outer and inner product box, my friend would have been writing this review, not me. Anyhow, since the teapot inside the product box was really well insulated with foam it survived the ordeal. So, I decided to keep it and give a gift card to my friend. Now, after only 3 days of use the knob on the lid came apart. What a disappointment. The knob is fastened to the lid with what looks like a regular 3/4" steel wood screw. Inside the knob's base is some sort of plastic and that broke apart dislodging small pieces of plastic that contaminated a good Japanese Sencha brew. Apart from this unfortunate product failure I really like the teapot. The borosilicate glass body holds up well - I used it with Medium heat on our electric stove top and in our microwave oven. I like the look, which is why I purchased it for a gift. The infuser is stamped with 304 which is more like 18% chromium and 8% nickel, that is 18/8, versus the 18/10 mentioned in the Amazon description. No big deal to me. The infuser works well keeping the leaves and grit away from the beverage and it is also easy to clean. Now I have to decide what to do with the teapot, as I can't use it without a knob to remove the lid.

I LOVE this teapot! Bought 5 years ago, it’s still going strong, even after being used daily. The strainer function works well with all kinds of loose tea, from peppermint to rooiboos to green. I stick the glass pot in the microwave to reheat. And it’s easy to clean. Functional, durable and a lovely design. Would buy again and again.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Quality is no where near Bull!!!! Absolutely what one wants & expects. Received a few hours ago, washed it, dried it & put it to work, eaiting for the first tea bach/serve! OMGoodness, absolutely more than I expected, lid & stainless filter are simply awesome & quality is felt!!!! I am going to purchase a few more for Christmas gifts this time around!!!! WOW!!!!

My journey with the HIWARE 1000ml Glass Teapot has been nothing short of delightful. A tea aficionado at heart, I was intrigued by this tea kettle's potential to enhance my tea brewing experience. I embarked on this venture with hopeful curiosity, and I must say, it has been a rewarding affair. This teapot is more than just a vessel to make tea; it's a confluence of aesthetics, functionality, and the art of brewing. Though the teapot brings a lot to the table, there are a few areas where I believe it could be improved. I present to you my thorough review, highlighting the stellar features of this teapot and offering some suggestions for enhancement. 🌱🍵 Elegant Glass Design: Elevating the Art of Brewing: What immediately caught my eye is the exquisite glass design of the HIWARE teapot. The transparent glass not only allows you to observe the steeping process but also transforms it into a visual spectacle. It truly is a sight to behold, watching the tea leaves unfurl and bloom, releasing their color and aroma. The teapot's graceful design adds an element of sophistication to any setting. 🌿🌀 Removable Infuser: Unleashing the Full Potential of Tea Leaves: The removable infuser is a masterstroke of convenience and utility. It makes it easier than ever to brew loose-leaf tea, blooming tea, or tea bags. The large infuser ensures that the tea leaves have enough space to expand, thereby allowing them to release their full flavor and aroma. This feature allows me to experiment with various tea blends and enjoy the diversity of flavors. 🔥⚖️ Stovetop Safe: Brewing with Ease and Confidence: I appreciate the versatility that this teapot offers. It is stovetop safe, which means I can directly heat water in it, eliminating the need for a separate kettle. It is perfect for both gas and electric stovetops. This feature adds convenience to my daily tea rituals. 💧🌟 Generous Capacity: Serving More than Just a Cup: The 1000ml capacity is ideal for serving multiple cups of tea, making it a perfect companion for gatherings, tea parties, or simply indulging in multiple cups of tea. It lets me share my favorite blends with friends and family, adding warmth and comfort to our conversations. While the teapot excels in many areas, there is room for improvement: 🔎🖐️ Fragile Glass: Handle with Care: The delicate glass design, while aesthetically pleasing, is somewhat fragile. Extra care is needed when handling and cleaning the teapot to avoid breakage or damage. A more robust glass or a protective frame could be a welcome addition. 🌡️💭 Heat Retention: Keeping the Warmth Alive: Although the teapot holds heat reasonably well, it cools down faster than I would like. A thermal insulating cover could be a great addition to maintain the ideal temperature for a longer time. In summary, the HIWARE 1000ml Glass Teapot earns a deserving 4-star rating 🌟🌟🌟🌟. The minor shortcomings do not detract from its overall charm and functionality. It brings elegance, convenience, and versatility to the art of brewing, offering a holistic tea experience. For fellow tea enthusiasts and connoisseurs, I recommend giving this teapot a try. Explore the world of tea with the HIWARE Glass Teapot, savoring each cup's aroma, flavor, and the tranquility that it brings. As we journey through the myriad flavors of tea, let's celebrate the beauty of brewing and the joy of sharing. Happy sipping! 🍵🌿🌺

Nice kettle - just the right size; easy to use and clean.

This is the most beautiful teapot I have ever owned. The filter is wonderful; the holes are so fine that even the smallest tea leaves do not get through. I love that the filter basket can be removed when the tea is done steeping, and yet the lid can be replaced. The pot looks elegant with or without the filter. The collar, lid and filter basket fit perfectly into the pot, and the filter has a little metal handle that allows it to be inserted and removed with ease. The pouring spout is wonderful. It has a nice opening - not too narrow, not too wide, and pours a delicate stream with no drips! (The tea even SOUNDS pretty when it is poured from this spout. Sort of musical.) There is little notch in the end of the spout, which seems to prevent dripping. The size of the teapot is just right; you could probably get 4-5 medium-sized cups of tea from a full pot. (Any more than that, and it would turn ice cold before you had a chance to drink it, anyway. Supposedly, you can heat this pot on a gas or electric burner, but I wouldn’t dare.) The handle is very comfortable to hold while pouring, and gets warm but not hot. My only concern about the teapot is that the glass is very thin and delicate. I am afraid it would crack very easily if I were to bump it againt the faucet or any other hard surface. The instructions that come with the pot warn you to be very careful with the teapot when handling it, and they recommended that you store it in the original packaging (in a bubble wrap bag, placed inside a box). That is what I am doing, and I would advise everyone else who purchases this teapot to do likewise. Fortunately, the box is not very big, and it will not take up much room in your cupboard. When setting the teapot down on the kitchen counter, I am careful to cushion with a towel or discloth it so that it doesn’t break. (If you have granite, marble or cement countertops, that will be a must.) I realize all of this special handling probably sounds like too much work, but it’s really no trouble at all. I would not hesitate to purchase this item again, for myself or for a gift. Heck, I like it so much that I may pick up one or two spares, just in case I break it some day. At only $17.99, it’s a steal!

Cute and fun to use loose leaf tea container. Love the see through look. The strainer holds plenty of tea. Keeps the tea warm. Easy to use and looks great.

Really nice but cracked after a couple weeks
