Beyond that though it's a great product. Because of the space the tea takes up in the container you do not get 2 full cups of tea. The product works as advertised. However, they size of the container should be a few ounces larger.
Brilliant design that actually helps get a cup of tea right without a microwave. The tea steeper that comes in this pack is worth the price of admission alone.
The pot is roomy, so your tea leaves have plenty of room to expand and infuse to their full flavor. I'm now vigilant about checking for stray leaves. To use, you put your loose tea in the pot, then add boiling water. I use this pot in my office, and I have a small electric kettle that I keep for boiling tea water. I bought this set primarily for the Inginuitea teapot.
Another thing to watch- if there's a bit of tea leaf stuck between the filter and the edge the latch that keeps it closed is not going to hold, and tea will leak out onto whatever surface you're using. To realease, you simply set the pot on top of your cup. As I mentioned above, I use this pot at work, so I've had a few instances of tea on the desk. But despite those problems I still give this product a five, because it's allowed me to brew my own loose tea at the office. A few problems I've encountered: I've not had such good luck with this pot in the microwave. If you put your tea leaves and water in the microwave together, you get water and leaves all over the microwave.
The tea samples are a nice bonus, but this is really all about the teapot. The latch that holds everything together releases, and you have a cup of nicely brewed tea. It's best to use boiled water from another source. I humbly believe that for loose tea drinkers, this invention is one of the best things ever. The plastic is microwave safe, but when the water starts to boil in this pot it coughs out all over the microwave. 16 oz, and perfectly fills a large much, with room for milk, if desired.
The tea infuses in the pot. The pot holds approx.
everything fits perfectly in her desk drawer. i purchased this as a great for my friend who loves tea. she adored the gift, especially the pot.
The teas that come with it are excellent. It is really cool to watch it work, and it's just as quick as they say it is. I was very impressed with the value for the money. This tea set makes a wonderful gift. I got it for my daughter for her birthday, and her husband loved it so much that I got one for him for Christmas.
