Finding the Perfect Tea Pot – Adagio Ingenuitea and Bodum Assam Reviews
For those of you who drink tea on a regular basis you know how important it is to have the perfect tea pot. The most important attributes to consider are capacity, ease of handling and how to clean.
True connoisseurs want a tea pot that has a filter or strainer built in. The Adagio Teas Ingenuitea Teapot is perfect for fulfilling this requirement. The Ingenuitea has a mesh filter situated in a clear plastic pot. This tea pot design allows you to place the pot on top of just about any sized cup for perfectly filtered, fresh brewed tea.
Other benefits of the Ingenuitea include the plastic design which is dishwasher and microwave safe. The mesh filter is removable for easy cleaning. Many complaints about mesh filters are that they do not contain small enough perforations to keep small tea leaves, such as rooibos from entering your cup. The Ingenuitea is perfect for filtering all sizes of tea leaves, including rooibos.
Despite the 16 ounce capacity, this tea pot can be used to make either hot or iced tea. There is nothing better that iced tea freshly brewed from loose tea leaves. Some may even choose to use this pot for making fresh coffee.
If you like the idea of an infuser built in to your tea pot, but want larger capacity for more cups of tea, Bodum Assam has a 32 ounce tea pot with a plastic infuser. This design is a clear glass pot which allows you to view the process of the tea steeping.
One of the benefits of having a tea pot with an infuser built in is that you don’t have to worry about removing the infuser before pouring the tea. The infuser stays nicely in place until you are ready to clean it. These infusers are very secure and do not open accidentally while steeping tea.
There are many different tea pot and infuser combinations available, but Adagio and Bodum are the top of the line and will give you the best value for your money.
