Introducing the Modern Glass Teapot with Infuser: Enhancing Tea Experiences

Ricardo Davis

– Glass teapots are a new addition to the market compared to traditional teapots made of china, clay, or metal.
– Corning’s creation of heat resistant glass in the early 20th century made glass cookware popular.
– The glass teapot has three main components: the lid, the strainer/infuser, and the teapot body.
– The lid helps retain heat in the teapot.
– The strainer/infuser keeps tea leaves organized while steeping and prevents them from pouring into tea cups.
– The teapot body holds the liquid and keeps it warm.
– The steps to use a glass teapot to steep tea are as follows:
1. Optional: Rinse the teapot with warm water before use to help the tea steep faster.
