27oz Tea Pot with Infuser

I love this teapot! It’s just the right size (3 cups); not too big, not too small. Also it’s not too heavy like the cast iron teapots; yet it’s sturdy. It has a great infuser with lots of tiny holes that gives great flavor without any leaves in your cup. Heat retention is great because the lid fits very well. It’s easy to pour and clean. The design is simple but beautiful and has a great color. I highly recommend it.

I love this teapot. My beautiful iron Japanese pot with the raised dimples is nice to look at but dysfunctional in every way. This teapot is such a relief! No more dripping all over the bar, no more iron rust rings on every surface. This teapot has a very nice design and a four cup capacity (perfect for two large mugs of tea). It has a beautiful stainless steel insert. The lid fits snugly down and will not fall off even when inverted. I got lilac and it is so pretty to look at with an artistic roundness to it.

This was to be a gift, but after a mishap with an other company, I returned to Sweese. I had gotten a larger pot a few years back & we've really liked it. I have quite a few friends & neighbors who drink tea & was planning on gifting this. But after opening it & checking it to make sure it was intact, I had to keep it. I will be buying more to replace the gift that didn't quite happen, but these are truly some of the best teapots I've owned. The lid doesn't always fit snuggly, but for the price? Great value. I like the fact that the lid & pot are ceramic. The tea filter is versatile, & easy to use with the handles. No burned fingers. 27 oz size is perfect for two people. These will make wonderful gifts!

I love everything about this beautiful little pot except that it drips a lot when pouring. It really does need to have a dripless spout. It's a perfect shape, not too small and not too big, well balanced in the hand, has a handle that's the right size, the lid stays on snugly, and when preheated it holds the tea at a drinkable temperature for quite awhile. And the porcelain is a pretty white, soft but still bright. The strainer is perfect; not a speck of tea slips through. The brew is the best I've had. That drip, though. The reason it's a 4-star review instead of 5. Would I buy it again? Yes, along with a pretty napkin to hold against the spout for the spillage.

I've had my teapot for over a year now and I love making tea with it. It's been durable and easy to use. I bought specifically for the small cup size since I usually only brew tea for myself. It's been a great addition to my kitchen.

My wife and I use china teacups and each get about three cups from a full pot, which is just right for us. Under the lid, there is a stainless steel basket with extremely fine holes that fits perfectly with the lid on, and the lid only fits snugly if you leave the basket in the teapot. This isn't a problem if you dump the tea out of the basked after it steeps – it's simple to dump and rinse. If you are a tea drinker who steeps the tea multiple times, you'll likely be leaving the basket out, so hold onto the lid as you pour. Also, if the pot is very full, pour slowly. The tea can rise over the inside lip and spill down the front if you pour too fast and the level of water is right at the lip. Otherwise, it's beautiful, and it makes a great pot of tea. I've used it with finely-granulated tea, like Irish Breakfast, as well as full-leaf teas and it steeps beautifully without leaving tea at the bottom of the pot or in your cup.

This teapot seems sturdy and well made. Everything arrived without damage and it has a nice asthetic. However, there are three things about it that I don't like: 1: when a full pot of tea is brewed (I usually make about 800 ml of tea for this, which gives me a little space to not overfill the pot), the teapot always leaks when I pour it out. Every time. The amount that leaks down the pot and ends up on the counter is about like what would spill if you poured the tea on the counter for half a second, so not an insignificant amount. To me, this is a serious design flaw and is unacceptable in any tea pot. Once the tea gets down to about half capacity in the pot though, it stops spilling. 2: The infuser doesn't reach down into the pot as low as I would like. Lots of the teas I make expand as they are brewed, and this means that I can't brew anything in this teapot any amount of tea below 600 ml (3/4 capacity). When the pot is filled only 400 ml full (half capacity or one large cup), a little less than 1 inch of the infuser tray is actually submerged in water. Therefore, the tea in the infuser doesn't get the chance to spread out in the water and brew properly. I don't know why the manufacturer decided to not make an infuser that would get reasonably close to the bottom of the pot, but I can't make just one cup's worth of tea in this. Another design flaw. 3: This flaw is not as important as the others, but is mildly annoying. The tea pot lid fits perfectly into the infuser tray (awesome!), but the infuser tray rattles around a little when it is in the teapot (not a perfect fit). And when just the ceramic lid is on the pot without the infuser, it does not fit snugly or nicely on the pot itself. Not that big of a deal, but this is what ends up happening for me: I brew my tea with infuser and lid on for X amount of time, then after the brew is done, go to take the infuser out and put the lid back on the teapot to keep it warm. Then, when I pour the tea in the cup, I have to hold the ceramic lid on with one hand while I pour so that it won't fall off. I would have liked to be able to pour tea with just one hand. It's a minor gripe, and it might be hard to design a lid that fits in both the infuser and on the teapot snugly, but I don't think it would be impossible. If nothing else, I would want it to fit worse in the infuser if it could fit more snugly in the pot--because I never pour tea out while the tea is still brewing. If I did that, then the tea that would be left in the pot would keep brewing and taste super strong later. If these things don't bother you, definitely purchase this pot. But I would probably choose something else in hindsight.

Super cute, clean design, nice pour.

It is broken. It is damaged when I received it. I want replacement or refund. The order delivery was delayed and it took 20 days to reach the product and that too damaged. I am so sad.

Good quality ceramic
