This version of Bodum's award-winning Assam tea press features an very-fine-mesh stainless-steel infuser. Tea and the British seem to be inseparable. When Bodum was asked by the British Tea Council to develop a new way of brewing tea, the Bodum tea press was born: Boil water... place your preferred tealeaves in the stainless steel filter... pour in the hot water... wait 3-4 min. or to your preferred taste... press down the plunger. The brewing process has stopped - no need to remove the filter - no mess - no burned fingers, only the true unforgettable and delicious taste of your preferred tea. It's so easy! The classic Assam tea pot with its stainless steel filter brews up to 34 ozs.of your favorite tea. Made of brosilicate glass with a glass handle and stainless-steel infuser and lid. The clear glass keeps the tea visible at all times, making it easy to decide when to stop the brewing. Everything can go in the dishwasher.
