What it does

  • High Borosilicate Glass
  • Eagle-Mouth Drip-Free Spout
  • 250ml Capacity
  • Dishwasher Safe

Who it suits

  • sharing tea from a gaiwan or pot so every cup tastes the same
  • pouring off the whole brew at once, which stops the leaves over-steeping

Who should skip it

  • brewing for one in a single cup
  • a pitcher that cannot take boiling water: check the maker's heat rating

The thing worth knowing

A fair cup, or cha hai, receives the finished brew so the strength is even from the first cup to the last. Glass lets you judge the colour of the tea.

What we have not done

We have not independently tested this product. The description above is compiled from the manufacturer’s published specification and from what the category demands, and it is written to tell you who the equipment suits rather than to sell it. Where we have no first-hand experience, we say so rather than inventing a star rating.
