Kinto Tea
UNITEA One Touch Teapot 460ml
Japanese heat-resistant glass teapot with an 18-8 stainless steel strainer built into the lid. Leaves swim free in glass, and the whole thing is dishwasher safe.
Good to know: The lid frame includes polypropylene and a silicone anti-drop ring; the glass pot and steel strainer are the tea-contact surfaces.
Why we picked it
A Japanese glass teapot with the strainer built into the lid, so leaves swim free in the full body of water the way tea wants. You watch the color develop and pour when it looks right. Glass and steel are the tea-contact surfaces; the lid frame includes polypropylene with a silicone ring, noted for the record. Dishwasher safe, all of it.
