Tea and all its aromas and active ingredients should be able to fully unfold. To achieve this, tea leaves, flowers and herbs must "float freely", as we write elsewhere. No vessel does this better than a teapot like this, which comes in the shape of a wide hemisphere. The form follows the function and the material follows the requirements, as the well-shaped glass insert is made of borosilicate glass, the heat-resistant laboratory glass. Recognizable Bodum: The shape of the frame, including the ergonomic handle and matching stainless steel lid, identify this tea maker as a representative of the traditional Danish-Swiss brand. The generously sized tea strainer is also made of stainless steel and, thanks to its three feet, can easily be set up for draining (you are sure to have a matching plate in your cupboard).
