How to Brew Loose Leaf Tea in a Simple Brew

Our simple brew teapot is a great way to enjoy loose leaf tea at home or the office every day. The glass brew pot allows you to watch your favorite teas infuse and expand. It is made from sturdy borosiliate glass, making it resistant to breaking, even with drastic swings in temperature and a food-safe stainless steel lid that is easy to take apart for a deeper cleaning. It’s dishwasher safe and works well for any kind of loose leaf tea, especially our finer-cut botanicals.
