Product DescriptionThis is a simple but effective design, typical of Bodum. Place your loose tea leaves in the insert, place your insert in the mug. Pour boiling hot water into the insert and then cover with the lid. Allow to steep to your desired strength, then remove the lidded insert and enjoy your freshly brewed tea. No fussing with wire mesh or small and annoying infusers.

The Bodum The de Chine Personal Glass Tea Infuser & Cup is simply wonderful! Although, seemingly fragile, it brews a great cup of tea using whole leaves or tea bags. It is perfect for those of us who prefer our tea in glass.Bodum The de Chine Personal Glass Tea Infuser & Cup

The other issues mentioned in reviews (cleaning, tea leaves getting stuck, light weight glass) are valid but not a major problem for me, usually soaking and rinsing gets rid of any stuck tea leaves, if not a soft brush works, and vinegar cleans off tea stains. It's not perfect--I'd prefer it a bit larger, more like a mug--but better than other ... Read More
tea infuser
Bodum The de Chine Personal Glass Tea Infuser & Cup is great if you like loose leaf tea! I bought it for my sister and I use it more than she does. I like how it comes with a lid so when you are done steeping you just place the insert on the lid. Its very handy! I'm thinking about buying another one.
