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.

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.
Unlike tea bags or tea balls, the IngenuiTEA lets the tea leaves fully expand in the water, thereby allowing for a fuller flavor. The attached handle makes for an easy way to transport it from the break room to my desk, as well as helps avoid holding the plastic housing once full of hot water.
Once brewed, strain the tea by placing the entire infuser on top of your cup. The plastic ring housed in the bottom of the infuser lifts up, releasing the plug, which keeps the water in the housing. The water then passes through the fine mesh filter in the bottom of the infuser into your cup. This process keeps astringent properties that can be caused by crushing water out of used tea bags. In addition, it helps keep the tea leaves intact if you prefer to re-steep your tea several times.
Cleaning the IngenuiTEA is a small process, but I find it to be much easier than the act of cleaning a traditional tea ball or in-cup infuser. Usually I will dump the majority of the tea leaves in the trash can, then rinse out with water. The plastic mesh filter in the bottom of the infuser easily pops out for deeper cleaning. The lid can also be removed with a small amount of pressure if needed- although I’ve never had to remove it for cleaning. The inside can be cleaned easily with warm, soapy water.
A few points to be aware of: Since this infuser works by releasing the bottom plate to raise the plunger that seals the water inside, it is important to only set the IngenuiTEA on a flat surface when brewing. Once or twice I have accidentally set it on an uneven surface that pushed the plate up just enough for my infuser to leak.
Secondly, since it is used for brewing tea, it will stain eventually. I have found a few ways to help combat the discoloration, but it in no way effects how the infuser works.
I have tried a wide variety of teas in this and have been happy every time. Whites, greens, blacks, mates, and rooibos all brew wonderfully. The mesh of the filter is fine enough that even the smaller particles contained in certain teas like rooibos do not pass into the cup.
Bottom line, I would highly recommend this infuser for anyone who enjoys a cup of loose leaf tea. With a solid design, it will last you for many years and through hundreds of cups of tea!
Top reviews from other countries
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.
