Our regular, “go-to” tea pot is a double-walled glass Bodum tea pot.  This is somewhat miraculous as I tend to break things and a glass teapot sounds like a bad idea.  However, this teapot has been with us for over 4 years and is still going strong.

I find the steeping mechanism efficient and easy to use: a basket with a plunger to seal the tea at the bottom of the basket when steeping is complete.

But it’s actually the glass that I love the most.  Tea is such a lovely liquid, and I have so very much enjoyed getting to admire it throughout (and after) the steeping process.  The double-walled glass keeps the tea as hot as any tea pot I’ve owned, and keeps me from burning my fingers.  Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

You can purchase this fine tea pot from our store through Amazon: a bit expensive, but worth the investment.
