The refined design and delicate silhouette are just part of what makes the Bonavita Glass Tea Maker so unique. Created to make tea steeping an effortless, yet captivating affair, one can't help but watch leaves steep in this pot! To begin the delight, simply add loose-leaf tea into the removable insert. Secure the insert inside the glass carafe and pour water over the tea leaves. Steep for the desired amount of time and remove the insert to prevent over-steeping. The glass lid can be used to hold the insert, or placed on top of the carafe for maximum heat retention.
