Glass Side-Handle Teapot, Borosilicate — 700 ml, Wood Handle

Watch the Leaf Decide

Ceramic asks you to trust the clock. Glass lets you watch. The leaf rolls open in the first ten seconds, the water turns gold at twenty, amber at forty — and you pour when it looks the way you like it, which is how most people actually learn to brew.

The side handle changes the gesture. Instead of gripping and lifting, you pivot from the wrist — the pot swings on its axis and pours in one clean motion, which matters most when your other hand is holding a cup.

Materials, Plainly Stated

The glass is borosilicate — the laboratory glass, chosen because it expands and contracts less than ordinary glass when heat hits it. It is not unbreakable; it is break-resistant, and the difference matters once a day when boiling water meets a pot that just came in from a cold courier box. Let it warm gradually and it will last for years of daily boiling.

The wood is — solid, oiled, not varnished. It stays comfortable to hold when the glass is not, which is the entire point of a wooden handle on a glass pot. It is the one part of this pot that prefers dryness; details below.

How to Brew

1. Warm the glass with a first swirl of hot water, then discard — this is courtesy to the tea, not the glass, but it starts the show.

2. Add leaf loose, or into the strainer if yours has one — with glass you can go lighter on the leaf and watch instead of guessing.

3. Pour water just off the boil for most teas; green tea wants a minute's rest first.

4. Pour to the last drop. In a clear pot, "leftover tea" is visible to everyone, including you.

Care

Glass:​ hand wash warm; no sudden jumps from freezer to kettle. If it ever fogs with a tea film, a soft cloth and warm water clear it — no detergent needed, and none preferred.

Wood:​ the handle and knob are the only parts that fear water. Wipe them dry after washing;

Storage:​ the spout is the fragile point. Don't stack anything against it in the cupboard.
