Lovely loose tea infuser and a great gift This made a really nice Christmas present for my mum and she’s been using it regularly ever since. It’s a simple but well thought out design that makes brewing loose leaf tea very easy, with no mess and no bits ending up in the cup. You just add the tea, let it brew, then place it over the mug and it pours cleanly, which feels much easier than fiddling with tea balls or bags. The tea tastes great compared with other quick infusers we’ve tried, with the leaves given enough room to expand and release flavour properly. It holds the heat reasonably well too, so you’re not drinking lukewarm tea within minutes, and I’ve not noticed any leakage when pouring as long as you follow the simple tilt-and-pour process. The build quality feels good for everyday use and it’s easy to rinse out after each brew, so it doesn’t feel like a chore to keep clean. Overall it’s been a successful gift and a handy little brewer for anyone who enjoys loose leaf tea.

Bought this as a gift for me tea loving friend. She messaged me and said what an amazing piece of kit it is and she absolutely loved it!

Wish I hadn’t waited so long to get one of these.. I am drinking far more of my herbal teas than ever before. So easy, much more room to expand and flavour. I make it quite strong then top up throughout the day with extra warm water. Even my dog is benefiting from some fresh peppermint tea.

The photographs do not do this product justice; the plastic is much like a crystal clear acrylic and looks more expensive. The functionality of the teapot is almost futuristic and is lot of fun to use. It can be used with loose tea or tea bags; I have also used it with ground coffee the filter is very fine. The only minor problem is that there is always a single drip after pouring, which typically happens if you have sat it on a table/cloth without a small saucer under it. Apart from this i have had no other issues with it and use it most days - guests and, in particular children, are usually intrigued by its operation. To go with the ingenuitea i would recommend a clear cup or mug so that you can see when it is full without the risk of it over flowing.

This is the second such teapot that I've had - this being a slightly different version of the first one I was given and that lasted me 3-4 years. I use mine daily and one heaped teaspoon of loose leaf tea lasts me throughout the day in this fantastic gadget, making 5-6 cups of tea before it is too weak for me to enjoy. The beauty of this teapot is that the leaves don't sit in any leftover water in between cups - the clever design means all the water drains out of the bottom of the pot direct into your mug, leaving the tea leaves ready for the next refill of hot water, as fresh as the first cup. Although loose leaf tea may cost more this is such an economical way to drink good quality tea of interesting varieties throughout the day. It's incredible to see the size the leaves have unfurled to by the end of the day! The pot is easy enough to clean - knock the damp leaves into the bin - or compost bin - and give it a swill with water. It xanbe taken apart and put in the dishwasher or soaked in Miltons Liquid occasionally. I'll never use a tea bag in the house again - except for visitors who just want 'builder's tea'!

I tend not to write reviews that often but this actually deserves it. I bought this as I went to a tea shop in Bethnal Green, London and they made my tea in the same sort of vessel. I asked where they got it and they didn’t know. I searched online and found this one. I purchased it straight away. Just put one spoon of tea in and pour the water in. You hardly need to let it brew, just place it on top of your cup and then let it drain. The taste you get from the tea is amazing. I think it’s because the water drains through the tea leaves as it goes into the cup, so much better than a normal teapot. I would advise any tea lover to purchase this.

Easy to use, gets the job done, never leaked, does exactly what you expect it to do, some good cups of tea from it.

Well packaged and made a great present. I received one some years ago and use it regularly
