a modern take on tea-brewing, this pot was developed by bodum in 1991 for the british tea council, using the principles of the french press. place leaves in the stainless steel filter, pour in hot water and wait for tea to steep. when the plunger is pressed down, brewing stops. no bitter tea – even if it remains in the pot all day. durable borosilicate glass with stainless steel infuser. this durable classic is dishwasher-safe, and the glass pot is microwaveable.
