1.8 litres is a family teapot, not a personal one — a full round for four to six people from a single brew, which is the difference between serving tea and refilling a small pot three times. The large belly shape gives leaves room to unfurl properly, which is what loose tea needs and what a cramped infuser prevents. Crystal clear heat-resistant borosilicate glass lets you watch the brew strengthen and pour it at exactly the right point, and it is the right material for blooming tea, where the whole point is watching the flower open. The stainless steel infuser handles loose leaf, blooming tea and dawa — lemon, ginger and honey — and lifts out cleanly. Comfortable glass handle.

Buying guide
Warm the pot with a little hot water before brewing, then pour it out — cold glass pulls heat out of the first fill and weakens the brew. Remove the infuser once the tea reaches the strength you want, since leaves left in continue to extract and turn the pot bitter. For dawa, crush the ginger before adding it so the infuser has more surface area to work with. Wash by hand and remove limescale with warm water and lemon rather than scrubbing. Never set a hot glass pot on a cold, wet surface, and avoid sudden temperature changes.
How it compares
Against a ceramic teapot, glass shows the brew's strength and suits blooming tea, though ceramic holds heat longer. Against a smaller pot, 1.8L serves a family without refilling. For keeping tea hot through a long afternoon, add a cosy or use an insulated flask.
Frequently asked questions
How many cups does 1.8L serve?
Four to six cups from a single brew, which is why it suits family serving and hosting rather than a personal pot.
Can I use it for dawa?
Yes - the steel infuser handles lemon, ginger and honey. Crush the ginger first so the infuser has more surface to work with.
How do I remove cloudiness?
That is limescale. Rinse with warm water and a little lemon juice rather than scrubbing, then wash normally.
