## Overview

ingenuiTEA is a sleek, 16 oz loose leaf tea brewer crafted from BPA-free Tritan plastic. Its innovative gravity-driven drip system releases perfectly infused tea directly into your cup, while a removable mesh filter ensures zero leaf residue. Dishwasher safe and designed for easy cleaning, this Taiwanese-made teapot is ideal for professionals seeking a premium, mess-free tea experience at work or on the move.

## Description

IngenuiTEA is a brilliant - arguably the simplest - device for preparing loose tea. Unlike the 'French Press' teapots which crush and bruise the leaves, our teapot's ingenious design uses gravity, not force, to strain the leaves. The result is great taste with less effort. To filter, simply place the ingenuiTEA atop your cup. A valve at the bottom will open, allowing crystal-clear tea to flow, while a mesh filter retains the leaves and sediment. The clean-up is equally as easy as the teapot is dishwasher safe. Made in Taiwan using food-grade plastic. Available in 16 oz. as well as 32 oz. size that's ideal for brewing a pitcher of iced tea. Perfect for foodservice, restaurant and other professional industrial uses. Bulk pricing available through Adagio Wholesale.

Review: No more tea bits in your mug! Works perfectly, super easy to brew with and clean after - No more bits of tea at the bottom of your tea! Fantastic product!! Could not recommend this more. Strains tea very well, easy to clean, does not leak out without pressing the bottom as intended. The only possible negative is dumping tea into garbage is difficult without water -- the leaves stick to the inside of the cup. Minor inconvenience. I show this to a lot of people, and everyone loves it!
Review: The Perfect Single Cup Tea Brewer - I've had brewers like this in the past of a different brand, but the tea shop that was near me closed. :( So I turned online, and recognized the Adagio brand as a tea that I enjoy quite a bit! Pros: Once and for all, because this was a major holdup of mine before I purchased this strainer based on other reviews, the filter at the bottom of the brewer IS removable. That's a game-changer. This will brew a BIG BAD BOY cup of tea. The reason these style of brewers are so wonderful is that there's all this space for the tea leaves to unfurl and get exposed to the water, and it develops the tea's flavor so much more fully than if it were loaded into, say, stainless steel reusable tea bags for example. The tea taste better and you can't put a price on that: it'll enhance any brand of loose leaf tea. Cons: At first, I thought other reviewers were right and I could NOT get that filter down at the bottom of the brewer to come out. I thought "great, that ruined this product for me." I filled it with boiling water to sterilize it before use, and after my first cup of tea out of this brewer I started to clean it out without taking the filter out. It was a hassle and I was already seeing a 2-star review in my future. But after some scrubbing I realized that the filter was beginning to rock back and forth a bit: it took a much more firm hand than I was ready to use, but with a little elbow grease I saw that the filter pops straight up and out! It's simply a very snug fit, and I think the hot water expanded the plastic enough for me to take the filter out much more easily. If you are having trouble removing this filter, fill the brewer with hot water and wait 5 minutes. Dump the water and pull on that little stick that is poking up through the middle of the brewer: rock it back and forth, pull the dickens out of it. It does pop out, I promise, and after that first removal it'll be easier to take out to clean. :) I'd buy this brewer again for certain. The only reason I hesitated was because of the filter: but now that I know it's removable it's a total win-win

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come apart to clean?  The Teavana one after a year plus of use became clogged with tea leaves and particles and had to be pitched.**
A: YES, I have had several and mine have all come apart. Sometimes too easily as if your not careful you may knock the filter out into the garbage can with the spent tea leaves! To disassemble~
reach inside the pot and grab the inner stubby post … you wiggle the inner stubby post, it will pop out. If you have never tried then it can be stubborn at first but when clean it comes out easily. Next you can pull up and remove the silicon gasket knob which then will release the bottom plunger that removes from the underside of the unit. Lastly you can remove the silicon plunger keeper gasket from the pot if you like but I find it unnecessary and quite frankly very difficult to put this last item back in its place as it is a tight fit for my fingers...  My personal observation is that I wouldn’t suggest cleaning too often as the parts will wear unnecessarily and some tea buildup is a good way to season your teapot but thats up to you, a replacement unit is only $20

**Q: is the plastic safe for boiling water ?**
A: I don't know for sure. Found this article http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/03/tritan-certichem-eastman-bpa-free-plastic-safe?page=2

**Q: Could this or the 32 oz. version be used to make iced tea?**
A: I first learned about this while traveling in Sedona. Trailhead Tea uses this infuser to make custom cups of iced tea. 

The perfect recipe that Eileen taught me was this: 
2 & 1/2 t of your favorite loose leaf tea with about 1/2 filled with water. Fill cup up with ice and once tea is steeped (approximately 4 minutes), you simply pour/strain over cup of ice. 

I have since bought the larger container and make 67 oz pitcher of iced tea the same way. 
I fill with boiling water over 4 & 1/2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea and let steep for about 5-6 minutes. Then I strain/pour over 67 oz pitcher filled with ice. Turns out perfect every single time.

**Q: does the lid pop on and off for easy cleaning?**
A: Yes it does and so does the filter, it is very easy to clean and a tough one.  I own a coffee shop and use this daily for all my tea infusions, works like a charm!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Tea Maker!
*by R***E on November 28, 2011*

I was a little worried when I bought this because of some of the negative reviews I've read, but I am very happy with this purchase. The strainer at the bottom is tightly fit and I have never had an issue with it floating up or coming loose. In fact, at first I thought it was permanently attached. Just make sure that when you put it back after cleaning it that you push it in all the way. Once it gets filthy beyond repair, a replacement filter can be bought from Adagio's website for $3. It is VERY easy to clean and it certainly does not take several minutes just to get the tea out. To dump out the tea I turn it up side down over my trash can and use a spoon to help get most of it out. Then I use water to rinse out whatever tea residue is left. The lid IS detachable. Just open the lid and pull back at the hinge to remove it. All of the parts of the Ingenuitea can be detached which makes cleaning it really easy. Just be careful when taking it apart. To remove the bottom part I like to remove the strainer and then push the white rubber bit down until the bottom comes off. When you put it back you should see that there are little nubs that you need to align with the body. It is small so if you have big hands you may want to consider buying something else as it will probably be a bit difficult to remove the strainer since you need to stick your hand in there and pull it out. It is made out of plastic so it will stain. To get rid of the stains without using nasty chemicals, I suggest soaking it in lemonade. I think it's the acid from the lemon juice that cleans the stains. Also, the smell of the last tea you brewed does linger (I hand wash it, I'm not sure if it's the same if you run it through the dishwasher). However, the flavors don't leach so this is not an issue for me. One more thing to note is that they do not sell this with a coaster any longer. Teavana's teamaker still does so you may want to consider that as an alternative.
