Primula 12 oz Glass Tea Maker with Infuser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)...it is a 12 ounce 3-piece set: Lid, infuser, cup.
Out of the box, my first impression was looks and feels fragile, but so do most laboratory grade glass. I like the fact that it is made of this borosilicate glass. Resistant to thermal shock, hard to stain, and microwave friendly. The glass is thin, so more fragile than most glassware I have at home. Handle with care, and keep away from children. The glass can handle the high pressure spray of a dishwasher, but might not survive clashing against neighboring dishes if unsecured to a tray.
The infuser has 12 tiny slits at the bottom that act as filters when the infuser is lifted above the cup. Takes about 3 seconds. Safety tip, lift/lower the infuser slowly. Overflow may happen because not enough time is given for water to go through the slits when lifted/lowered in a hurry. After removing the infuser from the cup, it was easy to clean out the Jasmine tea leaves I used. I found a tiny piece stuck in one of the slits but a simple faucet rinse usually cleans it out. If not, I use the bristles of my toothbrush and press through the slits to clear out any debris.
To sum it up, I could not be happier with this product. My only downside is it makes me want all my glassware to be borosilicate glass.

This glass tea mug turns the act of brewing tea into an artistic presentation. Loose tea leaves are placed into the glass infuser, hot water is added, and when the water reaches the desired color or strength, the infuser is lifted out along with all the loose leaves. The lid is turned upside down on the table to act like a coaster. The tea infuser is placed on the coaster to no tea drips onto your table. With its wide loop handle, the mug can be picked up and carried without fingers touching the hot glass. Tea flowers look beautiful in the mug, too, and work best without the infuser. Made of lightweight yet laboratory-strength borosilicate glass that won't stain, the mug may be used on the stovetop or in the microwave, and both the mug and infuser are dishwasher-safe.For the tea drinker, Primula also sells a glass teapot and packets of tea flowers, which are AA-grade green tea leaves and actual dried flowers that are hand-sewn into tight balls by artisans in China. After a tea flower ball is place in hot water, it will slowly sink to the bottom and unfurl into full "bloom." Some even have two different kinds of flowers that unfurl into a colorful spectacle and add flavor to the tea.

Primula Glass Stovetop Tea Pot with Infuser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)BE FOREWARNED: I bought this teapot for my wife as a little surprise gift little over three months ago as we're tea fans. I was impressed by the product descriptions of its 'laboratory-strength' thick glass; I had wanted to purchase a sturdy glass pot. And the fact that this was identified as dishwasher and microwave safe seemed additional testimony to its durability.
Please note: it's never been used in dishwasher OR microwave; it's been treated with great care simply because: that's how we are. And yet, just now: as the pot stood, filled on the counter: a roundish/tear-drop-shaped portion of the pot just popped OUT from the side. Untouched. It simply: broke. All by itself. A portion of the pot blew out, with attendant crack leading up to the top of the pot. And: she had made the tea about 1.5 hours previously; it wasn't even hot. But: of course, she and the counter were suddenly treated to a half-pot of tea.
VERY disappointed as well as extremely puzzled over how something like this could even happen. And it's clear there was no concussion from the outside: both the piece AND the pot show the glass blew OUTWARDS and that portion is fully intact.

This glass teapot with a capacity of 40 ounces turns the act of brewing tea into an artistic presentation. Loose tea leaves are placed into the glass infuser, hot water is added, and when the water reaches the desired color or strength, the infuser is lifted out along with all the loose leaves. A glass lid keeps the heat in, and the graceful loop handle makes the pot easy to pour. Tea flowers look beautiful in the pot, too, and work best without the infuser. Made of lightweight yet laboratory-strength borosilicate glass, the teapot won't stain and is safe for use in the microwave and dishwasher. For the tea drinker, Primula also sells a glass tea-making mug and packets of tea flowers, which are AA-grade green tea leaves and actual dried flowers that are hand-sewn into tight balls by artisans in China.

Some even have two different kinds of flowers that unfurl into a colorful spectacle, adding fragrance and flavor to the tea.

Northwest Glass 3-Cup Glass Flower Tea Pot, Blooming Tea Bud Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just used my new tea pot this morning and am satisfied with the purchase. Reasons: It seems to be well made; it has a nice design, and is practical for my use. I get up about 4 am and the tea pot with the beautiful color of the liquid looks great on the solid glass tea warmer glowing in the dark! (I purchased the Northwest Glass heavy glass warmer). The included glass infuser allows me to see the tea leaves and the slats (great concept instead of holes that allow tea leaves through - UPDATE BELOW) that allow brewing are located around the lower sides. That means that after brewing and using a full pot, I can add a small amount of additional water and have more tea. This is something important to consider when purchasing a tea pot....if the infuser does not sit low enough in the pot, you must use a lot of water before the tea can steep. This pot is good for about 20 ounces of tea. You can't fill it to the stated 24 ounce capacity or the liquid will spill from the spout (and I'm assuming by "3 cups" they mean 3 eight ounce cups). I purchased the tea warmer also which I reviewed under that item. There is just one thing that could have been better designed....when pouring the last drop you must keep your finger on the lid because it is not designed to stay on without holding it. But the pot is designed in a way where most of the liquid pours out easily, the beautifully curved spout does not drip, and you only have to hold the top for the last few drops.
UPDATE: Now that I have used this teapot daily, I have learned that gallons of water are probably being used to clean the glass infuser!!! The tea leaves get stuck in the glass slats. I have a sprayer on my sink and I end up getting water all over just trying to spray the inside and outside of the slats to loosen the tea leaves. If you don't like to spend a lot of time cleaning (and using a lot of water) then this will not work for you. The pot itself is really nice.

Primula Black 40-Ounce Teapot Set with Loose Tea Infuser and 3 Flowering Green Teas Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have read the reviews listed here and I will try to address some of the concerns.
1) The tea infuser as the directions DO indicate is used for loose tea. The directions on how to use the flowering tea are actually right on the box itself and I am unsure how someone could miss it. One must actually read the loose directions that come in the box to uderstand how to use the tea infuser for LOOSE tea which is in fact what a tea infuser is used for. This does not however seem like the best infuser but its a free addition so I wont complain. I actually like using this infuser to drain the pot for the last cup without getting all of the loose tea bits mixed in.
2) 40oz is 40oz. It makes about 5 cups of tea. I am talking about actual tea cups not going out and buying a 32oz Big Guld and calling it a tea cup.
3) There is a plastic shell that does partially encase the pot...go ahead and take a look at the picture. I have mixed feelings on this. I like to see the tea blossom and a totally clear pot allows for this to a greater extent. The plastic casing however does help insulate the pot and allows you to handle the pot a little easier as it does not tranfer the heat to the handle and the base.
4) Incase anyone was wondering the Spanish review said that the pot came broken. This is more of a shipping issue than a pot usage issue. My pot came boxed in bubble wrap and was not broken.
5) Hope this review helped...Happy Sipping!!!
