FORLIFE Bola Glass Teapot with Basket Infuser, Red, 38-Ounce

The first tea pot was a gift that I just loved! Good looking and view of liquid (water, milk, gravy) just sparkles! ! I break glass easily, since I'm always in a hurry, but this pot is strong glass and lasted me over 3 years, until I hit it just right and it formed a crack. I immediately searched to replace it before it went further and so happy to again have this handy, pretty pot!

Works perfectly for brewing tea. I brew using loose tea leaves which I buy by the pound (I use Runa Guayusa). I brew several batches at a time and bottle them in Aquasana 18 oz glass bottles, then put them in the fridge. Keeps a nice stock of iced tea on hand and has allowed me to finally kick my diet soda habit after many years.The tea strainer/infuser is excellent. It's very similar to another FORLIFE strainer that I have had for a while that sits in individual cups. I clean the strainer, the glass teapot, and the lid part by hand. I heat the water in an old tea kettle my wife found at Goodwill, then pour the boiling water into the infuser filled with loose tea.This is an excellent product that has become part of my weekly routine and is functioning perfectly.

Just love these teapots. Once you use a tea infuser, you will never go back to tea bags as the infuser plus quality leaves makes far superior tea?

Excellent product. Visually it looks great especially with different teas such as black, green, raspberry green. Also very practical for making an oolong tea for more than one person. I have 3 of the Bola Glass Tea Pots. One for home, one for the office and one for our place in Michigan.

It's just what we wanted. Only improvement would be to have a tighter seal so it stays warmer while it steeps.

I love this teapot. It is perfect, easy to use and easy to clean.

Update: I'm going to lower this to 2. As you can see in the attached photo, the design of the infuser is such that as the tea brews, it swells and pushes up and out of the water. The tea that is still submerged, is so tightly compacted, it has no water circulation and doesn't brew completely. This makes for a rather weak brew. FORLIFE needs to redesign their pots with a wider top and a infuser basket that's shorter and wider with a round shape so that the tea has room for expansion. The tall straight design makes cleaning out the tea rather difficult (as I've mentioned) especially with his 90° angles on the bottom.Overall the design is okay. But the infuser basket as seen here is tall and narrow. This causes the loose tea to become compacted at the bottom of the infuser and not able to completely brew. It also makes it difficult to remove the spent tea as it expands and becomes stuck in the basket.Also the straight sides and right angles of the infuser make it difficult to clear out.A better design would be for the infuser basket to be bowl shaped with round contours. This way gravity should do most of the work or even a spoon if it becomes stubborn.Because the tea becomes so compacted in the infuser, it doesn't have a chance to let water flow through and around it, making for a rather weak cup.I'm not saying that it's bad, just that it could be better.

I had a Bee House Tea Pot that loved, but I chipped the spout off. And I prefer this one. It's nice to know how much liquid is in it. I love that you can pull the strainer and lid off in one piece or separately. The glass does feel thin, but sturdy. And, while it barely seems bigger than my 28 oz ceramic pot, it holds 10 more oz.A couple of issues, which don't bother me enough to care. The handle is thin and feels just a little awkward when the put it full. Maybe I'll get used to it? The thinner pouring spout works well, but takes a bit of getting used to (pour SLOWLY). My one wish is that the lid could stay open when opened, it just falls shut, which is a bit annoying if you're mixing in different teas. Also, I have a feeling that it doesn't retain heat as well as my ceramic pot. Still, for the volume, looks, and functionality, this is perfect. I'd choose it again.

It's a smart design that allows you to pull the tea leaves when the steep is at its best. There's a small handle on the basket that you pull up, leaving the lid in place. The spout hardly allows any drips. Put it on a base that holds a tea light, and your tea stays warm as well as looks beautiful through the glass teapot.I searched for a teapot that I would like for a long time, and am very happy with this one.

Súper útil! Buen producto, buena compra.

My wife and I had the smaller FORLIFE teapot, this was an excellent upgrade. Fills 2 large mugs easily, leaving enough for a round of top-ups

Maravillosa adquisición, todos me preguntan en donde la compre, es simplemente excelente.

Good stuff for $20
