A glass cup with a built-in infuser basket and a lid. Three pieces, one clean setup. Drop the leaves in the infuser, pour the water, put the lid on, wait. When the tea is ready, lift the infuser out and set it on the upturned lid — no drips, no mess.
The glass lets you watch the colour change as the tea steeps, which is part of the experience — especially with visually striking teas like Blue Butterfly Pea Flower or matcha. Heat-resistant borosilicate glass. Available in 250ml and 350ml.
Why I chose this
This is the starter piece of teaware I recommend most. If you've never brewed loose leaf before and the idea of teapots and strainers feels intimidating, get this. Drop the leaves in, pour the water, wait, lift. It's that simple — and watching the colour develop through the glass is genuinely lovely.
