To admire the infusion in the process of coloring the water, the mixture of colors of your rigorously selected fruits or the hatching of your tea flower, what could be better than a transparent teapot. The glass allows you to see everything so you don't miss a thing of this soothing spectacle at home or in the office.

The advantages of the transparent teapot
Green tea, white tea, black tea, oolong tea, yellow tea, rooibos… the varieties follow each other, but are not alike. Tea has organoleptic properties and nutritional richness that have earned it its rank as the second most consumed drink in the world after water.
Different configurations and various materials are available to allow infusion. Among them, the transparent teapot has many advantages both in terms of preparing tea and because of its eco-responsible dimension.
Glass is a material that lends itself very well to the infusion of fragile varieties, such as green tea in particular, but also tea flowers. On the other hand, the glass teapot is also suitable for cold infusions such as iced tea or even the production of fruit-flavored waters.
Transparent teapots are durable objects, in particular because the glass is not subject to the effects of scratches or corrosion. Borosilicate glass is solid and robust against the vagaries of everyday life.
Glass is a recyclable and ecological material that maintains a virtuous loop. Perfectly hygienic and inert, glass allows the manufacture of healthy containers free of Bisphenol A, this much criticized endocrine disruptor.
Without memories and totally neutral, glass teapots allow you to prepare powerful black teas, delicate white teas, but also light herbal teas or brightly colored rooibos without retaining the flavors of the infusions.
Transparent double-walled teapots are not insulated, unlike double-walled stainless steel teapots. However, they have the particularity of increasing the heat retention power while limiting the risk of burns when handling.
The preparation of tea is elevated to the rank of an almost mythical art in certain cultures , particularly in Asia . Without necessarily going that far, preparing your infusion without a timer in a transparent teapot offers you a break during which the pleasure of the senses, visual and olfactory, brings you back to the present moment.
How to use and maintain a portable transparent glass teapot?
Clear teapots have a removable central infuser, just like regular teapots. Different sizes of infuser baskets allow various uses depending on the preparations.
The long filter is intended for short infusions: black tea, green tea, rooibos… Dose your loose tea according to the capacity of the nomadic teapot then pour it into the filter. Then insert the infuser basket into the body of the bottle previously filled with hot water. The flavors and colors are diffused to the rhythm of the circulation of the water in a few minutes.
The portable transparent teapots also allow the preparation of long infusions or detox water. It is the short filter that must then be used. Fruit slices or loose plants are placed directly in the transparent teapot with hot or cold water. This type of container is perfectly adapted to the hatching of a tea flower. Simply place the small ball in the clear glass teapot, then watch the braided tea leaves open to reveal the edible flowers.
The short strainer simply attaches to the top of the clear teapot to allow water through, but not small bits and pieces when serving.
Transparent teapots are said to have no memory, because they do not retain the aromas from one preparation to another. In general, smooth glass walls simply need to be rinsed with clear water, possibly with the addition of washing-up liquid. If a few stains or slight staining appear, simply wash thoroughly using baking soda and a bottle brush. To do this, fill the glass teapot with water and add a teaspoon of baking soda. Leave to act, then rub with the bottle brush. Then rinse with clear water and let dry upside down.
