FORLIFEStump Teapot with SLS Lid and Infuser, 18-Ounce, Turquoise

I have to be honest, ive used this item in the past... I first encountered it at a cafe in Cambridge... you could tell by the wear it had be through hundreds of uses, dropped, run through a commercial conveyor washer, etc. It was small, simple and easy to control.The current version is no different. I don't recall the older ones having a plastic handle in the filter, but perhaps it simply broke off after its thousandth use? This particular item is simple and sturdy... It will both last for years to come and come out the other end still looking good. You don't have to hold the lid down when you pour--which is a huge thing for me having a minor form of cerebral palsy--though if you're nervous you can apply counter pressure to the stainless steel tab... It can fill a normal 280ml (6oz) cup 3 times... Allowing me to drink my morning tea with milk, without tainting anything more than my own cup... The lid does not come off, but thats ok with me... it can be cleaned with a basic sink brush and some mild cleaner (vinegar) or abrasive (baking soda). Another interesting thing in my opinion is that the filter just happens to fit well in my daughter's old sippy cup, with a lid ( The First Years Take & Toss Spill-Proof Sippy Cups, 10 Ounce, 4 Count )... allowing me to stop the steep on something i can use multiple times while also protecting it from spills, dust, cats, etc. The benefit to that is after you dump out the bulk of the leaves, the cup is then almost a perfect vessel to fill with water, shake and pour out the couple of remaining that stick to the filter. My favorite benefit though is that they stack. The bottom raised ring on the vessel fits on top of the lid of another, allowing you to safely store a couple, while taking up a minimum of space.. Very nice for the times when my wife and i would like to share tea time, while also drinking the kind we each prefer.

Love this brand of tea pots! Very sturdy, great deep tea leaf basket which is easy to clean, and no dribble spout! This size is perfect for one person to have two decent size cups of tea. Love the deep orange color. Wish they still made this acorn shape in the larger size though, would love for them to bring that back, with this acorn shape, having the fatter base means no tipping over or spilling.

This pot was a gift to myself as I discover the joy in a few cups of daily tea.I first saw this in an Ann Arbor coffee shop, and fell for the simple, durable and elegant design. I liked how I could see how well it held up in a restaurant setting. As a potter, I found myself being particular on what teapot design spoke to me. This was a winner: The white is beautiful, the pot easy to clean, holds about 2-3 cups of tea, and keeps it nice and warm. The spout pours it well, and while there may be a little drip here and there, it's likely operator error. Inside metal basket with plastic handle does a great job holding the tea bags/leaves. Also happy with the level of detail on chemical components of clay and glaze provided on website.This teapot helps me ease into the day with a beautiful new ritual. Great price. Beautiful design. Very pleased.

I discovered this at a B&B during a vacation. It is the best little steeping pot. Just add hot water and steep your favorite loose leaf of bagged teas! I like it most because it also keeps the tea warm for 2-3 servings. This would be a great gift for any tea connoisseur!

I so love this teapot! When it arrived, the box was so small I had to remind myself that it holds 18 ounces, and it does. It's quite broad at the base, so no chance of tipping, very stable. It's asthectically pleasing, love the top and that it's stackable, because I know I will purchase other colors. It's a totally NO DRIP spout, I'm enjoying the attached lid which flips up and stays, with a flick of the thumb. I only wash these gems by hand, no dishwasher here. The For Life steeper is, as always, AMAZING! I got the mandarin color to match the steeper cup and it's just a happy color. This size is perfect as I'm usually the only one drinking tea, rarely do I make tea for a second person. I would rather order a couple more of these so when someone comes over, they have their own little teapot and steep whatever tea they like, be it green, black, oolong or herbal tea, and I can have what I want instead of making the tea around the guest. Also, some people like more sugar, no sugar, lemon, or milk in their tea and that way they can personalize the whole pot to suit themselves.Also, what a lovely gift for someone special who loves tea, whether for the holidays, birthday, or as a housewarming gift, box it up with their favorite tea, some rock sugar and a'tea' spoon.Sometimes I like to just use teabags, and I may use it with the infuser so I don't have to 'fish' it out, but if I only want 1 cup of tea, I will just put the teabag into the bottom of the pot and slowly pour water over it, then use my mini teacups. My stump teapot is so much more than just drinking tea, it gives me time each day to relax, slow down, and just savor the simple things, a welcome stall in this fast paced world, whether that takes place in the morning before starting my day, or as a relaxing ritual at days end, it's all around, PERFECT!

Pleased with product. It’s as described and makes one large mug or two teacups. There are no drips from the spout on pouring and the hinged lid remains closed.A small modification to the strainer would make removing the used tea leaves easier. That is for the strainer mesh to go over the rim of the strainer and not under. In that way leaves would not be trapped by the rim.

Good quality and value, recommended.

Liked everything about this little teapot. Well made and lovely colour. Very pleased. I think my friend is going to get one in green !!Thank you !!

Excellent made tea pot, used daily, perfect for two cups.

We have been using this type of teapot for a number of years now, and have found it to be the perfect pot:- fits a good amount of tea (0.5l)- keeps the tea fairly hot for a decent amount of time- no dripping when the tea is poured- sturdy and resilient (travels well in luggage if you need your teapot with you on your journeys)- easy to handle, dishwasher-safe, but also fairly easy to clean by hand- aesthetically pleasing design, large variety of colours- reasonably priced- the infuser included with the pot has a fine mesh, and is also easy to clean- comes in two sizes
