Designed specifically to showcase the transcendent hues of green tea, the Bodum De Chine glass teapot holds loose-leaf tea in its wide glass filter/infuser. When the user adds water heated to 190 degrees F (the appropriate temperature for brewing green tea), the leaves open gradually to expose their delicate flavors and aromas. The mesmerizing process is an ideal tonic for a stressful workweek, or as a complement to reading, reflecting, and other relaxing activities.
The pot is made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass, so it holds up to the strain of boiling water. Once the tea has finished steeping, the user simply removes the filter and pours the beverage. The lid also acts as a trivet for the infuser, keeping the counter or table dry. Bodum also sells a replacement filter if the original is lost or damaged. Though designed for green tea, the De Chine teapot is equally appropriate for loose-leaf black, oolong, and white teas and herbal infusions, though users will have to adjust the water temperature accordingly. The 32-ounce teapot makes four 8-ounce cups of tea, and is dishwasher-safe. --Rivers Janssen
