After scouring tea ware from around the world, we bring you the easiest, most practical, best-designed piece of introductory tea ware we have found. Here’s what we love about it:
It’s well designed. Form meets function; it looks really cool and works really well. Plus, it features:
* A wide basket to allow tea to open up and infuse properly
* Micro-perforated holes (0.3 mm each) keep even fine rooibos from getting into your brew
* A handle so you can easily pick the basket up out of hot water without burning yourself
* A handle clip so you can clip it to mugs, cups, small bowls and the like without it slipping in and spilling tealeaves into your brew
* A ceramic dish that catches drips after brewing and in-between infusions, and has its own handle to help you avoid spills and scalds.
It’s inexpensive. You don’t need a fancy teapot to brew tea. We know that as much as we love the
Sorapot , not everyone wants to spend a lot on tea ware! This is a great option for new tea drinkers, tea drinkers on a budget and tea drinkers looking for a basic brewing setup for the office or travel.
It’s durable. The ceramic dish is as sturdy as the mug you’ll use with it to brew your tea. The brewing basket is 100% stainless steel, so it resists corrosion and will not leave any metallic tastes in your tea, regardless of its age.
The ceramic dish comes in red or black.
