Both of us could be classified as “tea-aholics”, addicted to the taste, the culture and the beauty. We thought these teapots were pretty cool. A modern shape with a fun metallic finish or the L+L trademark turquoise. You can use loose leaf tea in the stainless steel infuser or use sachets….the lid fits seamlessly regardless of the infuser. The hinged lid never gets lost and the 18.2 oz capacity will give you two cups for friendship or one refill for you!
