That is too cute. I don't know anything about them. How does it work? Can you heat water in it? or do you just put hot water into it? What kind of tea do you like?

I found out about this teapot last summer when I was in St Louis and went to the teahouse there with friends. No, you can't heat water in it. But two cool things 1) You can use loose tea without having a huge cleanup. I use loose tea and there has never been a great solution for the cleanup. 2) It's like a coffee infuser in that you push down the press and get a really good flavor. So you put the loose leaves in, pour water over, wait a few minutes, then press. I love basic teas like Earl Grey or English Breakfast. I also loved flavored teas such as apricot, vanilla, or blackberry. I do not like green teas. Tastes too much like weeds. So, are you a tea lover too?

I like all kinds of flavored teas; mint, cinnamon, fruity ones, etc. I am not big on green teas either. Sometimes I drink loose leaf tea, but the other kind is easier.

That is so cool! I've never seen a tea pot like that. It reminds me of a french press - only for tea.

My husband got me a neat one cup tea brewer from Teavana. When your tea's ready you put it on top of your cup and it emptys the tea in your cup.
