Can I put this teapot directly on a stovetop?
No — these teapots are designed for hot water infusion only, not direct heat. Pour boiling or near-boiling water straight in; do not place the pot on a burner or open flame.
Is the glass lead-free?
Yes, the borosilicate glass is lead-free and cadmium-free. It meets food-safety standards for daily use with hot liquids.
How do I clean the integrated strainer?
Rinse with warm water upside down to flush out leaves. For deeper cleaning, fill the pot with warm water and a drop of mild detergent, swish, and rinse thoroughly. Never use metal brushes.
Will the glass crack if I pour boiling water in cold weather?
Borosilicate has excellent thermal shock resistance. It’s safe to pour near-boiling water into a room-temperature pot, but avoid extreme temperature swings such as moving it straight from a cold windowsill to a scalding rinse.
What teas should I not brew in a glass teapot?
Heavily roasted oolongs or aged pu-erh can leave a lasting film that dulls the glass. For those teas, we’d recommend traditional clay or porcelain from tea.equipment. Stick to greens, whites, and light yellows for the best visual and taste results.
Does the teapot come with a warranty?
Each teapot is inspected before shipping. While glass breakage from misuse is not covered, manufacturing defects are — contact us within 14 days if you spot a flaw.
How many grams of tea fit in the 450ml pot?
We recommend 3–5g for the 450ml size depending on the tea’s density. Since you can watch the leaves open, you’ll quickly learn the dose that fills the pot without overcrowding.
