Teabloom Stovetop & Microwave Safe Glass Teapot with Removable Loose Tea Glass Infuser – Includes 2 Blooming Teas – 2-in-1 Tea Kettle and Tea Maker – Tea Purist's Choice

I gave this as a gift to my friend for her birthday and she loves it. We tried the blooming tea together and I thought it was delicious. It wasn't her taste but I suggested having it cold and she really liked it. The pot is really cute and appears to be good quality. I am satisfied because she is happy with it.

I’m in love with my new teapot. It was a great value. It is burner safe. Like what!! It is a beautiful design with an insert for loose leaf tea as well. This teapot comes with two flowering tea balls. I have enjoyed those as well. I will have to check out their full line for future purchases.

I LOVE my tea pot!! I waited a few months to review. I heat my teapot up in the microwave (never had a problem, a crack or anything wrong). I heat it up for 5 mins every day and it is great! In terms of size, you can get about 2 completely full to the brim coffee cups of tea and about another half a coffee cup. So it is a great size for one or two people if you only drink one cup. The water flow is great, very elegant pour. It is very fragile, but I broke my teapot within the first month and they OVERNIGHTED me a new teapot. They are AMAZING for that!!! Great staff and team. They do NOT mess around with you on your warranty. I will definitely be buying from this brand again! Incredibly consumer friendly.

I was most interested in this product as a way to brew loose-leaf tea using an infuser (so it's easier to remove the tea leaves compared to just dumping them loose in the pot) but not using a metal infuser, as I find it stains over time and am concerned about the interaction of the tea with metal. I was really happy to see there was a product with an innovative glass infuser!It mostly works...but it could be better. The water drains from the infuser through some laser-cut thin vertical channels at the bottom of the infuser. This works, but some tea leaves get stuck in these channels and it can take a lot of work to dislodge them. I would like the manufacturer to experiment with laser-drilled holes that are smaller than the vertical channels, comparable to metal infusers, making it harder for tea leaves to get stuck in there.The vertical channels are also wide enough to allow some fine tea bits to get out of the infuser and into the tea, so I find I still have to pour the tea through a fine-mesh strainer to prevent these from getting into my cup.Overall, the glass used in this kettle is a bit thin for my liking, and it feels like it's going to be easy to break so I have to be super-careful with it. I'm not going to put it on a stove (in theory you can, if you're careful with the heat, size of the flame, etc.) but I'd much rather just use an electric kettle with thermostat to get the water to the right temperature and just use the kettle for brewing.My final (minor) complaint is that the glass infuser is not wide enough at the bottom, such that if you don't fill the kettle with water (as I don't, only making ~16oz. of tea at a time) then when the tea leaves absorb water and expand up in the infuser, the water level can actually be below the top of the tea leaves in the infuser (for some types of tea). This means that some of the tea leaves at the top of the infuser are not actually in contact with water during much of the steeping process. I either have to add more tea to the kettle than I want (which dilutes the tea), or swirl and tilt the kettle around during the steeping process to try to get those tea leaves to contact water. Not sure what a good solution to this would be, other than a wider infuser.

I love this little teapot so much. I have a glass top range and it heats the water quickly. I love watching the blooms in some of the tea I've used. I like that it has a removable compartment you can use for loose tea leaves as well. It cleans as easily as it boils water. It's durable enough to use every day.

Beautiful birthday gift for my tea loving friend.

I discovered the Teabloom Blooming Flower teas when looking for some interesting tea to go with a new antique kettle a relative had asked for. Never knew anything like this existed and was a fun discovery that lead to a subsequent gift one one of Teabloom's 15" mugs as a surprise gift to another relative. Only, instead of getting a 12-count tube for that gift, I got the 12-count box set. While the teapot may feel light, the moment I read about how it was made from the exact same type of glass as glass instruments in a chemistry lab are ... and that Pyrex and its competitors use ... I knew it was much more durable than it seemed. That it was designed for high temperatures. When preparing the tea in the teapot, don't think about how many cups of tea you are preparing but how much water it takes to fill up the teapot. The first test we didn't and, thinking we were just making 1 cup of tea for each of the 2 of us, we only put in 2 cups of boiling water. We needed at least twice that much to fill the teapot so that the bloom had all of the room it needed. The tea still smelled great and tasted great. But, we lost the full effect. And, without more hot water to use, that particular bloom was greatly underutilized. According to the 12-pod tube, 12 are good for up to 36 steeps (3/pod) and 250 cups (~7 cups steep). So, obviously just 2 cups of tea from 1 pod was a fraction of how much tea it could have made. But, as I said in the headline, this is perfect for entertaining a group. We just weren't using it in that way. However, that did teach me that, since green tea is also very good cold, it would be very easy to fix extra at the time and pour the extra tea in glass jugs to store in the fridge for individual consumption or for serving later. That's how an individual or a few individuals could still enjoy this without feeling like they wasted the pods. It's always why, for the other relative, I got a 15-oz mug that would still be big enough to see the pods bloom within an individual drinking situation. And, in either the case of the teapot or the mug, both are made to be versatile so it's something people can still use for other purposes; including whole teas infusion. One relative has mint naturally growing in one of her garden and the infusion capability means she can enjoy some of that if she wants. Versatility like that is always good.
