Tea Gift Ideas

Duo Glass Teapot with Infuser - 2 cup serve

The Duo clear glass teapot with removable glass infuser enables you to enjoy the aesthetic beauty of your tea  leaves as they steep and the resulting liquor colour.  When your leaves have finished steeping you can remove the infuser and enjoy a pot full of evenly brewed tea.

We have always found these pots to be sturdy however we do recommend hand-washing purely due to the fact that any piece of the pot could so easily get knocked if stacked into a dishwasher where the contents may move slightly during a cycle.

These teapots are a great way to enjoy the drama of our flowering teas (green tea section) as they bloom before your eyes.

Our Duo pot is pictured being used to brew jasmine pearl, green tea.
