I read somewhere the complexity is the price to pay for power.

It goes to follow that beauty does not come for free either. There are glass teapots and there are really beautiful glass teapots. This item does require some care, the ‘Bodum Bora Bora Double Wall Glass Teapot’ did after all carry away prizes at the 2005 Formland design awards and the 2006 iF Design competition.

Judged for its visual appeal as well as its intelligent design. It is handmade from borosilicate glass, therefore super smooth to the touch and guaranteed to remain clear for ever. More noticeably, it has a double wall, which apart from adding to unique appearance and attractiveness of the product, also serves to retain heat inside while leaving the outside cool as a cucumber. You can keep the trivet in the drawer, one less item to clutter up the table.

The stainless steel tea infuser is dishwasher safe, but as I mentioned earlier, the glassware is best treated with care and washed by human hands.

The list of design features goes on. Bodum guarantees a perfect cup of tea given that you can watch your tea brew and then when perfectly infused, using their patented tea press system, push the leaves down, where they remain sealed off from further contact with the water. The tea remains flavored at your desired level without going bitter not to mention warmer for longer, thanks to the double wall. Perfect.

I would agree with the judges, the ‘Bodum Bora Bora Double Wall Glass Teapot’ is a work of art. The tea looks suspended in the glass sphere and then appears to escape along the non drip spout. The high quality fine glass, stainless steel innards and black detailing work perfectly together. You would be forgiven for using it as an ornament.

These glass teapots hold 34 fluid ounces and measure 12.2 x 8.2 x 7.9 inches.

Lastly, it is advised that the teapot be rinsed with warm water before introducing a kettle of just boiled H2O. A small price to pay for the ultimate cup of tea.

There are many ways to pass the time. One customer of the ‘Grosche Surrey Infuser Tea Mug’ says that they like to watch the tea leaves unfold, claiming the activity to be cathartic and enjoyable. Perhaps they are on to something.

The worst case scenario is that you will end up with a good cup of loose leaf tea for your trouble. I could think of worse things.

As with most glass tea makers, this is constructed from borosilicate glass, useful because it is very strong, not to mention usable in the microwave and dishwasher. Borosilicate is also resistant to going milky, in fact the product has a lifetime guarantee against what is known as “clouding.” I would expect nothing less from the Grosche design house.

Proponents of brewing tea in glass pots will tell you that it enables them to perfectly gauge the strength of the tea by judging the color of the infusion. I concur. This nifty glass tea mug is additionally advantageous in that it removes the tea pot from the tea making process altogether. Besides getting someone else to drink the golden brew for you, I think this is about as easy as it gets, certainly for loose leaf drinking, at any rate.

Another feature worth noting is that the glass tea mug has a lid which serves to contain heat initially and then doubles up as a trivet for the infuser when it is removed from the tea mug. Like I said, it is about as easy as it gets. If you still have room for another cup or two, just steep another one from the same leaves, no need to waste.

A great gift for a connoisseur, the super smooth glass ensures no residual flavor remains trapped in the glass. This article could qualify as a conversation piece. Be sure to mention the steeper chamber if you really want to show off.

The glass teamug holds about 270ml or just over 9 fluid ounces, which should hit the spot.

Why have a storm in a tea cup, when you can have a tea pot in your cup instead?

Some tea pots are for intended purely for decoration, others for serving in style. This service lies somewhere in the middle; it offers practicality and quality, with the advantages of modern day materials.

Let me explain. The ‘Bodum Assam 4-Cup Tea Press Teapot’ was designed for the British Tea Council. Those English chaps from across the pond, take the idea of sipping tea very, very seriously. As such, they have a body of people dedicated to promoting the idea and the benefits of their hot, cooling drink (if that makes sense) to those so inclined. They speak of enjoying the warming rays of the sun, the pleasant smell of fresh cut lawn and other such summery stereotypes. Tea, of course, would be the ideal companion in this idyllic picture.

It goes to follow, that the tool of choice, to brew a tea for such occasions, should be of the highest standard and design.

The borosilicate glass, stainless steel lid and polycarbonate strainer and plunger are all dishwasher safe and heat resistant, not to mention very strong. No fussing about with ceramics and porcelain. No hand painted flowers or silly cats, just clear high quality glass. Simple as pie, or should it be scones?

Brew 32 ounces or 4 cups of loose tea for your educated guests with ease. In fact, the infuser need not even be removed. An additional feature, similar to that found in coffee plungers, is that this glass teapot allows for the leaves to be pushed down to the bottom of the strainer when you are ready to serve. I am sure it does extract a bit more flavor but if nothing else, looks more presentable. Customers who have bought this product speak highly of the tea press.

Bodum is a well known and reputable manufacturer, selling superior products since when I can remember. Their expertise when it comes to glass kitchenware is unparalleled.

Dimensions are 8.4 x 8.3 x 7.4 inches and it weighs only 2 pounds including packaging.

Easy to clean, easy to use and it makes a fantastic cup of tea.

So where do you go to find a cheap glass teapot? In fact where can you go to find the cheapest glass teapot on the market in your favorite style. Well, it would be difficult to be completely definitive in that answer. However there is one site in particular that I have found that more often than not trumps all other sites for value and convenience and that is Amazon. As a result, all the glass teapots reviewed on this site can be found on the Amazon site, a site that everyone now instinctively trusts from a price, value, fulfilment and aftersales service perspective. They really are the default place to look for the teapot you want. So, any of the images shown on this site will take you directly to the particular sales page on Amazon for that product so that you can purchase quickly and easily directly from Amazon and be happy that your money is safe until you have received your product.

One great example of a cheap glass teapot is the Teas Etc Traditional Glass Teapot. The traditional styling, coupled with the construction material glass make this a very pleasing glass teapot. And better yet it is one of the cheapest glass teapots on the market at the moment. Because it is glass it is able to brew tea with a clean and quite natural flavor, differing from many other teapots, especially metallic ones which can leave the drinker with a distinct aftertaste of the metal. It has an in-built brewing basket or infuser which makes it perfect for brewing loose leaf teas, but is also good for blooming or flowering teas. It is something of an all rounder in this respect. And finally, it allows the tea to be poured without dripping, which as most people will know is one of the most annoying aspects to most teapots sold today.

So, the Teas Etc Traditional Glass Teapot gives all the benefits of owning an attractive pot, but perhaps best of all is the price needed to purchase it. This really is a cheap glass teapot, easily purchased which despite being cheap has all the attractiveness and features associated with other more expensive pots.

FantasticTea Borosilicate Crystal Clear Double Wall Glass Teapot with Glass Infuser. Wow, what a mouthful!

The name is the exact opposite of the elegance and simplicity of this gorgeous design. Clearly, I am in favor of the minimalist approach and you can’t reduce things to much less than super clear transparent glass.

What makes the creation of this tea pot all the more appealing to those who prefer the ‘less is more’ approach is that, it is actually rich in function and forethought without much evidence of the fact. To put it more clearly, the tea pot has a double wall. This not only helps keep the tea warm, but also shields the outside surface from becoming scalding hot. All that one sees of this are two thin lines, forming the silhouette.

Furthermore, the infuser is perfectly sculpted so as not to detract from the almost clinical appearance of this work of art. So, whether you are enjoying an off the shelf tea in a bag or have selected some gourmet loose leaf tea, your stylish tea pot, will do the job, and do it with grace.

The handle, spout and lid are consistent in shape and size with the body of the pot, creating the finishing touches for a crisp, clear tea server that could easily double up as an interesting object to look at in a display cabinet.

It looks almost too delicate to use. This is because the glass is hand blown, adding to the beauty of the product. It is however quite tough. The glass is borosilicate, a special variety which is resistant to heat and cold as well as breakage. Borosilicate might not sound too yummy but it has the added feature of being far less porous than ordinary glass. Most don’t know glass is porous. At the risk of sounding more like a science lesson than a review of a stunning tea pot, porosity is what makes drinking glasses go milky in the dishwasher. No risk of that with good old borosilicate. It is indeed superior in quality to ordinary glass in every way. It’s not scared of a dishwasher or microwave.

The tea pot holds 600ml or 21 fluid ounces which is suffice to pour 3 smallish cups. The tea pot is very light, given its size (8 x 7 x 7 inches) and weighs a meager 1.4 pounds.

Reduce clutter and make the world a cleaner place.

on La Cafetiere Le Teapot…

Le Teapot from La Cafetiere seems to attract nothing but 5 star reviews. I am yet to hear a complaint.

Here is why. Firstly, it is great to look at. It is made from borosilicate glass, which if you are unfamiliar with, is a super tough, heat and cold resistant glass (ideal for glass teapots). It also means that it remains ultra clear and doesn’t get murky or cloudy over time. The tea drinker who prefers their brew just so, will easily be able to gauge when the tea has infused to the perfect point. This glass teapot is available with either a stainless steel or black plastic finish. Both options are very attractive. The design is light hearted and fun with a shape stolen from a fish bowl, with some waves to keep it company. The handle is well integrated from a styling perspective and happens to be sturdy and easy to use.

Secondly, it is a high quality and very practical item. As mentioned, it is made from a very resilient type of glass, making it dishwasher and microwave friendly. It works well for both hot and cold drinks. The filter basket is removable for easy operation and cleaning. In fact the entire device is easy to wash and makes drinking tea an absolute pleasure. On the topic, the filter basket is made from a tightly woven mesh which means that no stray leaves are going to be lurking about next time you make a cup of tea.

Two sizes are available, 23 fluid ounces for 3-4 cups and for the thirstier consumer, a 42 fluid ounce fellow, for around 6 cups. I did say cups and not mugs! If you drink tea from a mug, then you can roughly halve my measures. Whatever you do, don’t tell the queen you imbibe her favourite hot drink from anything other than a cup. She may not come around for tea…

A great product, well put together and easy to use.

So what do you say, fancy a cup o’ tea, love?

Best Price For A Bonjour Celeste Glass Teapot Set HERE!

The Bonjour Celeste Glass Teapot Set is said to be inspired by the elegance of Paris.

The appearance of the glass tea pot and matching creamer and sugar pot are on the ornate side. The hand blown body of the tea pot is reminiscent of a lavish glass chandelier of an era gone by. Interestingly enough, the handle and spout are free of any whimsy and appear solid and plain against the contrast of the elaborate body and lid of the tea pot. The juxtaposition works well and will appeal to someone who enjoys the old school elegance with some of the feel of the new, given that the pot is glass rather than ceramic or china.

Standing alone, the tea pot has an element of grandeur and splendor. Use it in an ordinary kitchen as a showpiece that doubles up to make a smashing cup of tea for the connoisseur. Use it in an already stately home, to maintain the regal feel. While you can obviously use it for bagged tea, it is designed for the loose variety. It seems a waste to use it for anything else.

You will have to pardon the pun, but this tea set is for a particular kind of person or a certain kind of home. It is not everyone’s cup of tea, so to speak.

The dimensions are indeed the proper size one might expect, 10.8 x 5.8 x 5.8 inches. It will devour 34 ounces of very hot water, enough to squeeze out about 6 cups for when the ladies meet for book club on Tuesdays.

I would suggest avoiding the dishwasher and microwave with this one. Don’t let that put you off, quality takes a bit more care to maintain and this will certainly offer your guests an enjoyable view and an extraordinary brew.

There is not much more to be said. A set like this belongs in every serious tea drinker’s cupboard and I would think it to be obligatory for the regular entertainer.

One of the fun aspects of creating a site about glass teapots is that the variety and style that you get from different manufacturers of glass teapots is wide; so too is the innovation which they are able to apply to their products.  One good example of this type of behaviour is Grosche.  They produce a number of different shapes and sizes of glass teapot, but all are interesting, eye-catching designs that are practical and tough and easily capable of being used everyday in the home.

Similar to other Grosche products, the glass of this pot is similar to Pyrex glass making this teapot stovetop safe.  As a result it is able to be used on a low to medium gas flame as a water kettle prior to teamaking, and as a result is perfect for using with a teapot warmer, such as the attractive Grosche Saraha Teapot Warmer (not included).

Other factors to note about this glass teapot apart from the fact that it is lovely to look at when the tea is steeping within the pot; loose leaf tea is contained within the built in glass infuser:

• it is a large teapot and as a result for best results you do need to fill the teapot reasonably full.
• the teapot is designed to be used with the glass infuser and the lid does not fit if the glass infuser is not in place.
• the teapot pours very well with no dribbling.
• this is a remarkably cheap glass teapot, considering both the size, the style and the tough practical material it is made from.

All in all, despite the minor distractions noted above the Grosche Merlin Thermal Glass Infuser Teapot is a stylish and attractive addition to your home and one which will unquestionably provide you many hours of tea making enjoyment for years to come.
