The perfect cup, every time
With our ingenuiTEA teapot, brewing the perfect cup has never been so easy. After adding your leaves and water, the open body allows your leaves to expand fully, releasing the true flavor and aroma of the tea in a way that teabags or small in-mug infusers simply cannot provide. Once finished brewing, simply place it on top of nearly any mug, and let gravity do the rest! A release valve will allow the tea to flow through the integrated filter, preventing any debris from entering your cup. Lift the ingenuiTEA off, and the valve seals tight and stops any further drips! This 16oz. model is perfect for personal use, or for sharing with a friend (if you're feeling generous)! So why wait? The perfect cup is out there, just brew it.

Product Description
IngenuiTEA is a brilliant - arguably the simplest - device for preparing loose tea. Unlike the 'French Press' teapots which crush and bruise the leaves, our teapot's ingenious design uses gravity, not force, to strain the leaves. The result is great taste with less effort. To filter, simply place the ingenuiTEA atop your cup. A valve at the bottom will open, allowing crystal-clear tea to flow, while a mesh filter retains the leaves and sediment. The clean-up is equally as easy as the teapot is dishwasher safe. Made in Taiwan using food-grade plastic. Available in 16 oz. as well as 32 oz. size that's ideal for brewing a pitcher of iced tea. Perfect for foodservice, restaurant and other professional industrial uses. Bulk pricing available through Adagio Wholesale.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the quality of the teapot. They say it's a solid design, and the tea leaves are still good. The plastic in this unit is excellent food quality, and there are no smells or tastes that they can detect. The fine screen on the bottom works great, and it'll last for many years. It's great for steeping tea, and does a better job of brewing tea than dunking a tea bag in a mug.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
That was months ago, and since then I have been using this truly ingenious product daily. No complaints! Why did we ever bother with cheap glass kettle infusers which burn our fingers and shatter if we even touch it? Or those clumsy metal ball things that takes forever to scoop two teaspoons of tea into it, never clasp to the side of our mugs in the first place, then leak hot tea everywhere and we fumble with it with burned fingers and the tea comes loose into the precious drink? I even bought expensive mug/filter things that inevitably leak or mold or smell or just create a mess on my desk.
I'm not very picky with tea, really. All I want is a) A handle and lid so I can safely carry the hot tea back to my desk from the break room without it getting cold too quickly b) A substantial size so I don't have to keep traveling for my tea c) Keeps my tea leaves separate so I can reuse it a couple more times d) Easy to use and no need to fiddle with hot tea balls or whatever, I'm supposed to be working not fiddling with my mug e) Easy to clean
This thing solves all my problems above amazingly. The handle is large and practical for a good grip (none of those dainty small designer handles), the lid is not exactly watertight but enough for a good seal if I fill it to the top. At no point does my fingers touch the actual teapot, but even so it doesn't get too hot. The hefty 16oz is good for two cups of tea (not really enough, I may get the larger size, but it's good really). As I drink my tea from my actual tea mug, the tea leaves are safely contained within the ingenuitea teapot so all I have to do is grab the teapot and top it up with hot water, or toss it and rinse it to clean, or pop it into the dishwasher. No need to scoop out tea leaves from a gross rusting tea ball.. you know what I mean.
Nope this is not 'just another kitchen gadget', destined to be shoved to the back of the cabinet. Smart, well designed and above all, simple, this product truly deserves its reputation.
Oh.. I do have two 'complaints'... I wish it wasn't plastic. I know it's BPA free, but a more friendly material would be nice, maybe glass or even porcelain or something? Also, your actual drinking mug should be clear, that way you'll know how much tea is flowing into your cup from the teapot. Or else it will spill!
EDIT: This thing leaks very easily! It doesn't leak of its own accord, but the moment ANYTHING even slightly TOUCHES the bottom of the cup, the liquid will pool. Even if you just recently drained it, the residual water will still flow out. Even knocking a freshly drained strainer against my thigh will result in a wet spot. I use the strainer, strain it into my mug, and put it aside thinking all the liquid is out, and not realizing it is resting upon an object, even a slightly thick object like a piece of board, and it leaks and pools all over my table. This has happened numerous times. I'm not blaming the product, it works very well, but just a word of caution that the strainer device on the bottom is very VERY sensitive. I work around this by using a saucer specifically for this strainer, and have learned not to place it down anywhere that is not the saucer.
The item has been updated since it was original made and I will list the updates (all but one are good) and how I use this.
1. The item is now BPA free which is listed clearly on the box.
2. The filter is not removable and is a very sturdy metal with less plastic.
3. For some reason they no longer include the plastic circular try you sit it on. While your tea is steeping you MUST put it on a hot pad to keep it as hot as possible. The tray worked in place of the hot pad and I;m not sure why they no longer include it.
Use:
1. I add 2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea to the teapot (just drop it right in).
2. Using my keurig (most have the now and they make boiling water instant and a breeze). Place the teapot under the drain and open and close the lid (as though you were putting in a cup but don't).
3. Depending on the size of the cup you are using you are going to need to experiment with the amount of boiling water you use. I set mine to the largest cup setting and hit brew. This fills it most of the way. If you want it to the very very top once it is finished but it on the smallest cup setting and hit brew. It will fill it to the teapots very fullest.
4. Close the lid and put it on a hot pad. I steep mine for 5 minutes. For stronger tea steep longer.
5. Simply lift the teapot and place it centered on top of the mug/cup. It will drain out of the bottom like magic. IF you have added too much water and see that it is going to overflow just lift the teapot and it stop instantly. Magic. So easy to use. If your mug opening is very very large (I haven't found one this won't fit) then hold the teapot over the mug and on the edge of the bottom push up and the tea will come out. (this is also how I clean the filter using soapy water)
6. You're tea is done! No mess and NO TEA GROUNDS. None whatsoever. Loose leaf tea used to be such a pain and so messy but not anymore. I recommend the 16oz of this and not the 32. A 16oz makes a nice large cup of tea for one person and it is very easy to fill up and make another one. 32oz is just too big and the tea will get cold, it is much easier just to make more.
To clean I just invert and dump the tea leaves and then wash using soap and water. The lid is removable (carefully!) and I clean the filter as mentioned before.
I highly highly recommend this. It makes a perfect gift and works wonders. So easy to use and works perfectly.

Just put one spoon of tea in and pour the water in. You hardly need to let it brew, just place it on top of your cup and then let it drain.
The taste you get from the tea is amazing. I think it’s because the water drains through the tea leaves as it goes into the cup, so much better than a normal teapot.
I would advise any tea lover to purchase this.
