The wide lid is specifically designed for easy access, allowing you to reach inside with a soft sponge or cloth to remove spent tea leaves. We recommend rinsing it with warm water after each use and letting it air dry completely.

With a 250 ml capacity, this teapot is perfectly sized for one to two people. It is ideal for enjoying multiple short infusions of high-quality loose-leaf tea.
