About
Glass teapots allow full visual appreciation of the tea brewing process, from watching leaves unfurl to observing the developing color of the liquor. Heat-resistant borosilicate glass withstands thermal shock and does not affect flavor. Particularly popular for blooming teas, where sewn tea bundles open into floral displays, and for green teas and white teas where the visual element enhances the experience.
