Glass One-Cup Teapot (300ml)

Traditionalists who eschew modern tea infusers rejoice: Here is a functional, well-designed, yet beautiful teapot that should suit you well. This glass teapot is just the right size for a single cup of tea (it can also be used for gong-fu style service, though I think it a little big for that). It is crystal-clear, with a wide spout and squat body. It is easy to use, too: A wire coil extends through the spout to catch tea leaves such that an additional strainer is not necessary (although some very small leaves/particles may slip through). The spout is not prone to clogging, which is great for quickly decanting tea. Many small teapots have a small “airhole” on the lid-handle. This is supposed to allow for easy pouring of the tea, but it is also easy to get a steam-burn when grabbing the lid-handle. This teapot’s airhole is located on the lid itself, making the lid-handle much more accessible.
