Love my Hario Glass pot!
It holds 700 ml and the big mesh infuser basket gives the leaves lots of room to expand (am experimenting with brewing without the basket too). I LOVE admiring the color of my greens, which I also sip from a glass mug
No, I had to order it from Canada - from a vendor called "Avenue 18" in Richmond, B.C. As far as I know, there are no vendors selling Hario in the U.S. (though I looked long and hard!)Victoria wrote:That's a nice looking glass pot. Did you get it from a USA vendor? I have seen a similar one at Hibiki An and at Jing UK. I like glass pots with short spouts. Long spouts on glass make me nervous.
It's nice looking and a very practical design - easy to use, easy to clean, sturdy enough (as long as it doesn't get knocked around), serves up 3-4 cups. I also went with glass because of concerns about lead in ceramic glazes. So, this is really the perfect pot for me

There are US vendors for that pot. I've seen it around. None of them though that I know carry it have a web presence though.
Just as an FYI though Most/possibly all of Lupicia's glass products are Hario.
Hario glass is a bit difficult to find in the US due to a lack of branding. Very few people know what Hario glass is and so there's no reason to push the name.

Yeah I have a couple of glass ones too that I use daily. I like my Bodum one, but the design of yours is very appealing. Though I'm sure I saw it here in the USA somewhere. But where? Hummmmmmmmmmmm Anyway congrats!

Just checked out Lupicia US and see that they do have some of the Hario glass teaware (though, as you say, it's not billed branded as such). Good to know! I wanted a 'brand' name because I wanted to be able to verify the manufacturer specs (i.e., heat rating) to be sure I wasn't getting something cheap/substandard.Pentox wrote:There are US vendors for that pot.

I chose my Hario pot in particular because I was looking for one with a steel mesh (rather than glass) infuser and because I like the short pour spot (I'm with Victoria on that one!) If I come across any US online vendors with this style glass pot (Hario or other maker), I'll pass them on!

Ah-ha! Funny, I've actually been on their site before - shows how observant I amVictoria wrote:http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/STO ... s/teawares
That's the smaller of the two styles (450 ml), which I've been thinking about getting also. Price-wise, my Canadian source is a bit cheaper - works out to about $30 USD including the shipping.
Of course, it might be worth paying a little extra to get it a little quicker.

Re: Love my Hario Glass pot!
I totally agree about brewing greens in a glass teapot. I love to watch LongJing brew in my glass pot. Thanks for posting the Hario. I completely love it. I've bookmarked the Richmond site and will order one when my current glass teapot breaks. I'm looking forward to it breaking now. I may just throw it off the balcony!gerTEA wrote:It holds 700 ml and the big mesh infuser basket gives the leaves lots of room to expand (am experimenting with brewing without the basket too).

Wow I feel so pathetic next to you expert tea drinkers!
All of you have such beautiful pieces, I'm really jealous.
The only thing I have is:
My one, and only teacup. (I don't know if I'm supposed to do this, but the top is to help with the aroma, once it's done steaping I take the cover off and use it as a saucer.
!)
Cafe Cup from Tea Forte
I also have a couple of stainless steel infusers.
Which do a crappy job.
Gah, seriously you guys have amazing things.
I cannot compete!

No need to feel pathetic. We all started with teabags in a mug.le victoria wrote:Wow I feel so pathetic next to you expert tea drinkers!

You can also have very good tea without any special teaware.
My new chataku have just arrived. They won't get my tea better but I thought I needed them.
