PluieSoleil Square Glass Teapot with Infuser, 700 ml Borosilicate Tea Pot for Loose Tea, Clear Leaf Teapot with Strainer for Microwavable and Stovetop (700ML)

Lovely and easy to clean

Stylish looking and makes a great cuppa. Arrived well packaged and very quickly. Easy to use and clean.

I have had this tea pot a month now and better able to comment more accurately on the item.The tea pot is very stylist and practical in use. Unusual for a tea pot it doesn’t drip. A real bonus. Well done!Of course you have to be careful with the tea pot when in use due to the thin borosilicate glass used to make the teapot.It is easy to clean and keep in pristine condition.The teapot could be further improved if it has a dedicated coaster to stand on, particularly when it is hot. A little more care is required, during manufacture, over the fit of the lid which tends to come off when pouring the tea. I “flared out” the lip in my workshop to ensure a ‘grip fit’ and avoid becoming dislodged when in use.Would I buy again, yes!

This is a really attractive small teapot suitable for loose tea or teabags. It holds four small mugs which is fine for two people. I’ve waited some time to review it and I find the glass spout needs an occasional clean with a cream cleaner. The metal basket does significantly discolour with the tea, but it comes up well if soaked in a cleaner such as steradent.When using the teapot you have to position the basket carefully as it only clips in in one position and can come loose if not secured. The lid is also part of the basket so you can’t use the teapot with the lid unless you put the basket in. The basket also sits quite high in the teapot, so tea or teabag would not be in the water if you only half-filled the pot (eg if making tea for one), so basically you always have to make a full pot of tea ! It would be a better pot if these design disadvantages were addressed, but it’s fine for every day use and with the wider base is very stable when carried on a tray.

This is by far the best teapot I’ve ever bought! So much so, I replaced it when I broke my old one as I couldn’t bear going back to my metal one.It brews a perfect cup of tea and looks so stylish. I love that the tea leaves rest above the brewed tea so you can top up and it’s not gone too stewed.It is easy to clean, you just need to take more care as obviously it’s made of glass.The price has gone up, but I was willing to pay more than the last time I bought it, as I’m so pleased with it!

Perfect size for one person, especially while sitting by the desk working and wanting to sep on tea:) could use for two people when having a guest. All the leafs stay in the infuser , so no bits- functions well. easy to clean. I use it everyday and it made me drink lots of tea :)) I love it I think its my favourite item I got this year:)) Not heavy to handle, looks beautiful.

Bought this for my wife she loves it. No seepage of leaves into the pot

I absolutely loved the tea from this- i loved being able to pour more tea into my cup - I loved how easy it was to put my dried peppermint into it instead of fumbling with the ball thing I usually use.It was a week of the best tea. But alas. Suddenly, it shattered. I'm not sure what I did- I think i slightly grazed it off the kitchen counter but wow that was thin glass which was suddenly all over my apartment floor.Would I buy it again? No- not for at least 1 year as punishment for breaking my teapot, but mostly out of stubborness of not spending double the price by buying a new one within the same year when I could have purchased a more expensive one. Before i bought this one, I had considered buying the black iron type one- and I chose the glass one based on being easier to clean from reading all of the reviews.After reading all of the reviews, I didn't read of anyone else who broke the glass- most people complained about the lid- I didn't have it long enough to notice the lid problems.It would be nice if the glass was a little bit thicker. It is very fragile- like a fine wine glass.Perhaps, I wasn't gentle enough and it wasn't the glasses fault. I'm not one to complain. I think the 4 corners in the bottom are the weakest point- I hit one of these corners. If these were rounded more, I think the glass wouldn't have broken. It is the weak point in the design.Anyway- there is a silver lining- only the glass broke, which means that I can still fit the strainer (with lid) into my huge tea mug, which means i dont have to fiddle with the little tea ball that I despise. So now I just insert the strainer straight into my mug, put the lid on the strainer (my mug is wider- so there is an air gap, but it doesnt matter because the goal is to allow it to cool down a little before drinking it anyway) and it is perfect tea even without the main part of the teapot - and then i just pull it out and leave it on the draining board. And I sometimes just re-dip this back to make a second cup.The strainer is beautiful- the holes are really small so the tea is really clear without any bits of residue.I still recommend it to others.But know that you cannot touch the bottom corners off anything, and you need to treat it like your grannys fine china cups.
