Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum The de Chine 34-Ounce Glass Teapot
Customer Review: Watching tea is like staring into a flame
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this tea-pot for a year now. It didn't get much use in the summer months, but since it has gotten chilly, I have dusted it off. I use this pot whenever I want to make more than one cup at a time. There are a few tricks to getting this pot to work its best, but it is well worth it because watching the tea infuse with the water is very hipnotic and beautiful. Some teas unravel when they are steeped, and some just put on color shows in the hot water.
Practical guide to using the pot:
First, put your hot water into the pot and your tea into the infuser, then gently put the infuser into the pot. Forcing the infuser into the water may cause a spill. I recommend this method as opposed to pouring the water into the infuser full of tea because this forces leaves into the slits and that is when it is difficult to clean.
Second, to clean the pot and filter, just rinse it while the leaves are still wet and everything should come clean. Using the above method of steeping does an excelent job at keeping the leaves from being stubborn in the slits, but a bottle brush or old toothbrush will work to get stubborn leaves out until you get the hang of it. It is great that it is dishwasher safe, but I only go that route when I neglect the pot and let leaves dry inside.
I highly reccommend this pot! It is beautiful and interesting.
Description of Bodum The de Chine 34-Ounce Glass Teapot
Brew your favorite loose leaf tea with ease in the stylish The de Chine Teapot with glass infuser. Just put the tea into the infuser , add hot water, and let the tea steep to your liking. Because The de Chine is all glass, you can see the tea brewing, which allows you to let it steep just to your liking. Once it has finished brewing, just remove the infuser and serve. The lid acts as a trivet for the used infuser to eliminate drips on your table or countertop. The de Chine is made from heat safe borosilicate glass. The 4 cup size is 32 ounce and yields 4 - 8 ounce cups of tea.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
