Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Had this for about a month now, and it's performing just fine. This model is good for about three good-sized mugs of tea. The frame protecting the glass body is a tough plastic that should blend well with most tea accessories that have a smooth, low-gloss black finish. The glass is fairly thin but stands up to hand cleaning and clinking against teacups.
I've used two types of loose tea in it so far--a black and a white. The loosely rolled, flexible white tea leaves create a pretty good barrier to water passing through, so you need to take more time pouring over the infuser. The dryer, more tightly rolled black tea leaves infuse quickly but the tips have a tendency to get caught in the holes of the infuser, meaning that they require more time (a scrub brush with bristles helps) to remove when cleaning. This hasn't been a big issue so far, however.
All in all, this is a good teapot for those who like tea in a social context but don't want to get too twee with floral motifs or humorous cows. Would recommend.
1-year-ish update: End of May 2011 and the pot is still in great shape. Minor interior tea stains wipe out with baking soda paste, and the plastic frame still keeps the glass body protected from random bumps in the hands of lazy/clumsy users (moi). Still recommend!
