My local tea shoppe was having a sell on some promotional items from
the various big tea sites. I walked in and there was some tea blossoms
brewing in a couple of these pitchers. It is 420ml/14oz. The pitcher
is thick glass and magnifies the blossom 2x which impressed me the
most. The body is bowed so the blossom won't fall out even if held
vertical when pouring out the last drop. The handle never gets hot.
It has a good lip so you won't spill a drop no matter how full. The
box doesn't say anything about blossoms just to be used with paper
filters. If you look there is a filter basket that goes with it which
I also got. I use the filter basket top as a lid which isn't
absolutely necessary. I got an Upton electric 1 liter SS detachable
kettle with variable thermostat for about half the price. The only
thing of note the kettle needs to be half full for the thermostat to
work in all ranges. It's 1400 watts and will make water holy real
fast.
