Stump Teapot with Infuser, 18 oz

The hinged lid stays attached through every pour, eliminating the usual lid-loss risk. Its 0.3mm basket strains rooibos as readily as whole-leaf oolong, in a stackable two-cup body.

WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

Its value is the unusually complete small-pot engineering: hinged lid, 0.3 mm basket, high-fired ceramic, stackability, and dishwasher-safe construction. Long-term owner commentary specifically credits the curved lip for non-drip flow.

MATERIALS

BodyLead-free high-fired ceramic

Compact thermal mass is more forgiving than glass for a second cup.

LidStainless steel hinged assembly

Attached lid cannot fall during pouring; a meaningful usability advantage.

Infuser0.3 mm stainless steel

Fine enough for small particles while remaining removable for cleanup.

IDEAL FOR

  • ·One person or two cups
  • ·Fine and whole-leaf tea
  • ·Small kitchens
  • ·People who dislike loose lids

NOT FOR

  • ·Serving more than two
  • ·Microwave use with metal lid/infuser installed
  • ·Users who want a removable lid

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

A stout, highly legible silhouette that stacks neatly. The lid attachment removes one-handed pouring anxiety; the trade-off is that the small pot is only for one generous drinker or two cups.

LONGEVITY

The attached lid reduces a common breakage/loss point. Rinse the fine basket promptly to prevent leaf residue; ceramic remains chip-prone if dropped.
