⚡ At a Glance

- • Best for: Loose-leaf tea drinkers who prefer manual brew control and stylish serving pieces

Manual control over steeping with a transparent body for monitoring infusion. Suited to users who prefer an involved brewing ritual.
Full-flavoured cups - thanks to the French-press style plunger
Plunger action allows the brew to develop until preferred colour and strength are reached, then a downward press separates liquor from leaves. Pressing once locks the chosen steep time, producing a consistent extraction without transferring leaves to a separate pot.
Consistent control over strength, so cups match preference each time. Quick pressing means a repeatable routine for morning or afternoon brewing.
Clear, tidy pours - with an elastic silicone-rim infuser
Elastic silicone rim forms a seal around the filter during pressing, keeping leaves and kernels inside the strainer while brewing. The design reduces the chance of stray leaves entering the poured tea.
Cleaner cups with less sediment and easier serving, ideal for guests or desk-side drinking. No need to decant through an extra filter to remove debris.
Visible brewing - with a borosilicate glass body
Transparent borosilicate glass shows infusion colour and strength as leaves steep, while the coloured plastic lid and glass handle complete the serving form. The glass construction is presented as a single, uncluttered vessel for brewing and serving.
Watch the colour develop to nail the strength you prefer, useful for delicate greens and robust blacks alike. Attractive presentation works well on kitchen counters and for table service.
