Sweese Teapot, Porcelain Tea Pot with Stainless Steel Infuser, Blooming & Loose Leaf Teapot - 27ounce, Lilac

I love this teapot! It’s just the right size (3 cups); not too big, not too small. Also it’s not too heavy like the cast iron teapots; yet it’s sturdy. It has a great infuser with lots of tiny holes that gives great flavor without any leaves in your cup. Heat retention is great because the lid fits very well. It’s easy to pour and clean. The design is simple but beautiful and has a great color. I highly recommend it.

It’s a nice little teapot that’s exactly what I was looking for to make tea. I just got it today and it was easy to clean. The metal steeper is good quality so I’m assuming this will suit me fine. The size is good because I’ll mostly be making tea for myself, though it will have enough room for a few guests as well.I will update this review after some usage.*update*2 days of using it and its great. The included infuser is even better than I expected. There have been 0 tiny tea granules able to slip past the infuser. I'm using loose tea leaves. It stays warm for long enough for me to enjoy 2 cups of tea. I bring the teapot to my desk and refill as needed. However, the lid in the description says that the plastic gasket keeps the lid on tight... It does fit better when you have the metal infuser in the pot. When you take the infuser out (which you should do after 5-10 mins so your tea isn't bitter) the lid is very loose and you have to place it on top, so make sure to hold on to it when pouring. That isn't a deal breaker for me and its doing just fine, I like it.

This was to be a gift, but after a mishap with an other company, I returned to Sweese. I had gotten a larger pot a few years back & we've really liked it. I have quite a few friends & neighbors who drink tea & was planning on gifting this. But after opening it & checking it to make sure it was intact, I had to keep it. I will be buying more to replace the gift that didn't quite happen, but these are truly some of the best teapots I've owned. The lid doesn't always fit snuggly, but for the price? Great value. I like the fact that the lid & pot are ceramic. The tea filter is versatile, & easy to use with the handles. No burned fingers. 27 oz size is perfect for two people. These will make wonderful gifts!

I liked the styling off this teapot and that it was microwave and dishwasher safe. I almost sent it back, however, as the blue color I ordered isn’t quite what I wanted. I wanted a deep cobalt blue and this one is a funky navy with almost a teal hue, but function wins over fashion here. The stainless steel infuser is awesome, it captures all but the most minute particles and then is easy to dump out and rinse clean. The spout has not dripped for me as some others have noted, just a nice clean pour. It holds heat for about an hour and easily reheats in the microwave and no the handle does not get ridiculously hot. I do herbal teas, so I’ve not noticed staining, but that is hard to see in such a dark colored pot. I like it, and recommend it.

It was a different blue than I imagined, yet a very delightful color. The color reminded me of the fifties powder puff blue eye shadow. I truly love it. It was well packaged. Perfect for a vintage tea! Thank you so much for offering it on Amazon! Will tell others.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very attractive. I love that I can use it with loose tea leaves without the hassle of picking the leaves out of my cup.

Absolutely love this teapot! Bought one for myself in blue and one for my sister in white and we both love them. Just big enough to make 2 full mugs of tea. I really appreciate the design of the infuser basket and how nicely it sits in the pot and the nice flat handle to make it easy to remove but doesn't get in the way and the lit closes and seals nice and secure so you can pour the tea without having to hold onto the top so it won't come off because it won't, it seals securely. No drips or leaks when I pour it. Easy to clean up. I like to wrap it up with an old crocheted washcloth to keep it warmer while it steeps. It is pure perfection, look no further for your next teapot, this is the one!
